Database location issue about react-native-sqlite-storage

I will look into this.

I have a sort of related question...Is there any way to use the app without making another copy of the database? My app is based on a static sqlite database that is never written to by the app. It's large... > 100mb. The app copies that into whatever location (Documents) so it ends up taking >200mg of space. Is there any way to not have it copy to some other location and just read directly from whereever it's stored in the bundle file? Thanks!

There maybe a solution for iOS...but would have to make it optional with a macro..turned off by default.

I have committed code changed to address both issues. by adding readOnly to the param list you will be able to point to app bundle db without requirign a copy. For locations, this is a backward incompatible change. default is now nosync location rather than docs. There are 32 choices for location param

1. default
2. Documents
3. Library

You will find fixes on master. Please test them out and let me know how you make out. These are iOS specific changes so Android should not be impacted.

Thanks! The readOnly code works, except dealloc in SQLite.m needs some small changes I think (it crashes on reloading in the simulator with a "pointerValue" unrecognized error).

Edit: I created a new issue for this, and posted a code snippet that seems to solve the problem.

@scgough - can you test the location modifications?

openDatabase({..., location: one-of-three},...)
deleteDatabase({...,location: one-of-three},...}

if old style name only param list is used, location defaults to 'default' in both calls.
