You could use a BEGIN IMMEDIATE to lock the DB before you launch the transaction and loop on SQLITE_BUSY or use the plain BEGIN which will allow reads during the transaction and not lock the DB until you issue a COMMIT (the END). Just loop on the BUSY on the END SQL statement until the user who has the DB locked releases it.

A technique we use to get a minimum latency but reasonably efficient busy wait is to issue a yield call each time an SQLITE_BUSY is encountered so that the time slice is dropped and other processes can run. A alternative is to issue a short delay or sleep.

Hi All,
Here my statements to insert rows into the database
  Open the database connection
  BEGIN
        insert ...using sqlite3_step
        insert ...using sqlite3_step
  END
So at the time I issued "END" transaction I got the error message SQLITE_BUSY so I need 
to issue the "END" transaction again or What should I do in this case to handle 
SQLITE_BUSY.
Thanks a lot in advance for the help or advice.

Subject: [sqlite] SQLITE_BUSY retry

Hi All,
I have used "BEGIN" and "END" Transaction to insert the data to SQLite database.
    BEGIN
        insert ...
        insert ...
  END

When I issued the "END" operation the error message return back is "SQLITE_BUSY". What should I do if I want to handle SQLITE_BUSY /retry the transaction. Should I execute "END" transaction again.
How to handle the SQLITE_BUSY?
Thanks,
JP
