Graphics / create a sf::Image from an sqlite blob

« on: October 27, 2012, 12:57:14 pm »

Im trying to create an sf::Image from a png stored in a sqlite database. I have an Entity class which currently has three variables, type (int), name (string) and texture (sf::image). The code below works correctly for type and name but im at a loss as to load the texture. Im using SFML2.0 on Ubuntu Linux 12.10 64bit

void loadEntities()
{
    writeToLog("Loading entities");

    openDatabase();
    sqlite3_stmt *query;
    if(sqlite3_prepare_v2(getDatabase(), ("SELECT * FROM " + TABLE_ENTITY).c_str(), -1, &query, 0) == SQLITE_OK)
    {
        writeToLog("Successfully opened " + TABLE_ENTITY);

        int result = 0;
        while(true)
        {
            result = sqlite3_step(query);

            if(result == SQLITE_ROW)
            {
                Entity *e = new Entity();
                e->type = (int)sqlite3_column_int(query, 0);
                e->name = (char*)sqlite3_column_text(query, 1);
                e->texture = (???)sqlite3_column_blob(query, 2);

                newEntity(e, &dataEntities);
            }
            else
            {
                break;
            }
        }
    }
    else
        writeToLog("Error loading " + TABLE_ENTITY);

    closeDatabase();
}
