Question: Currenty I want to load iphone's addressbook db into my iphone app db..i mean i want to dump addressbook data into my app db

Is it possible? if so give me a link or references to do so

Thanks for any help

Cant i export AddressBook.sqlitedb to another sqlite db for my iphone app?

I mean, do i need to iterate over the loop? 

Isn't possible to load the addressbook.db data into my database in which i am going to create my own addressbook ...

Answer: 
Yes it os possible.

Look here:

<http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/ContactData/Conceptual/AddressBookProgrammingGuideforiPhone/Introduction.html>

It would like like that:

```
ABAddressBookRef addressBook = ABAddressBookCreate( );
CFArrayRef allPeople = ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople( addressBook );
CFIndex numberOfAllPeople = ABAddressBookGetPersonCount( addressBook );

for ( int i = 0; i < numberOfAllPeople; i++ )
{
ABRecordRef ref = CFArrayGetValueAtIndex( numberOfAllPeople, i );
//use the ref to store its properties in your db
}

```

EDIT :
You need to search in some google links as well as the related posts on the same page. It would give you other ways around. Also as per your comment, you first of all need to fetch the data from the address book from any of the methods given in these different answers and store in NSDictionary or array and afterwards you can store it into your local database or web server using the supported methods. Hope this helps you.
