[sqlite] SQLite3 -journal
I have finally succeeded in getting DBD::SQLite v 1.02 compiled and installed on my AMD64 and have therefore started working with SQLite3. After reading the documentation about locking and concurrency here http://www.sqlite.org/lockingv3.html I am left with the impression that the life of the -journal file on disk should be relatively limited. IOW, once the transactions are committed, the -journal is deleted from disk. I'm not seeing that here, the -journal file seems to sit there throughout the life of the program (in this case, a deamon that runs in the background). In fact, it remains on disk even after the program is terminated and only disappears after the program is restarted (only to come back again, presumably after a change to the db). Is this the correct behavior or should I start looking for a problem with either the perl program itself or DBD::SQLite?

I think I need a better understanding of the 'locking'. Looks like my commits are failing due to earlier statements remaining 'in progress'. What I don't understand is this 'database table is locked' stuff. This is a single process (no threads) accessing the database, what is locking it? A previous SQL statement that hasn't finished or something? The identical code worked fine with SQLite 2.8.x so the problem has to be something related to the change in locking in 3.x.x but I'm not seeing it. BTW, this is using the just release 3.04 version.

Just to close the loop on this for the benefit of any other DBD::SQLite users who may be trying to upgrade from v 0.31 to v 1.x.x. Watch out for cases where your former working code left unfinished SELECT statements since under SQLite v 3.x.x they will hold locks on the database causing subsequent SQL calls to fail. In my case, the code had several instances where we knew there could only be one result to the query so we basically grabbed that result and moved on, e.g., $sth = $dbh->prepare($statement); $sth->execute; return $sth->fetchrow_arrayref; This left the SELECT statement in a not finalized state and the dataset locked. Worked fine under SQLite 2.8.xx but it fails under 3.x.x. We had to change the code to, $sth = $dbh->prepare($statement); $sth->execute; my $result= $sth->fetchrow_arrayref; $sth->finish(); return $result; to solve the problem by finalizing the SELECT so the lock came off the database. Hope that helps someone else from banging their head against the wall searching for the problem . Again, a big thanks to D. Richard Hipp for pointing me in the right direction!
