I'm a beginning sqlite user (v3.5.8 for Linux). I use a c++ program to
open a connection to my database with no issues, but when trying to
exec any sql statements after that, i get SQLITE_BUSY (i.e. database
is locked). Here is the code I use:
int main() {
sqlite3 *db;
int ret; // Return value of sqlite3 calls
string dbName = "emails.db"; // Database name
char *zErrMsg;
// Open a connection to the database
ret = sqlite3_open(dbName.c_str(), &db);
if (ret) {
cout << "Can't open database: " << sqlite3_errmsg(db) << endl;
sqlite3_close(db);
exit(1);
}
string stmt = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS";
string cols = "Received (Sender varchar(80), Receiver varchar(80), Subject
varchar(512), Message varchar(512))";
stmt = stmt + " " + cols;
ret = sqlite3_exec(db, stmt.c_str(), callback, 0, &zErrMsg);
if (ret != SQLITE_OK) {
cout << "SQL error: " << zErrMsg << endl;
sqlite3_free(zErrMsg);
}
sqlite3_close(db);
}
// Based on the example code provided at www.sqlite.org
static int callback(void *NotUsed, int argc, char **argv, char
**azColName){
int i;
for(i=0; i<argc; i++){
printf("%s = %s\n", azColName[i], argv[i] ? argv[i] : "NULL");
}
printf("\n");
return 0;
}
Even if I change the sql statement, I always get SQLITE_BUSY. This is
frustrating because this is a single-threaded app, so I have no idea
why the database would be locked, especially before I have called any
write operations to it (i.e. before a CREATE, INSERT, etc). Any ideas
as to why this is happening and how I can fix it? Thanks.
