Hello,
I am trying to write a simple perl program <http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1053595> (perl version 5.16.3). I am accessing a SQLite db using WAL. It took me a while but I learned that my connection is only looking at the DB file and not the WAL file. As a result, my queries are not returning the full data set. the SQLite firefox <http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1053595> addon shows 10 invoices in the invoice table. the following program is returning only 8... use DBD::SQLite; use DBI; use Tkx; use File::Copy; use PDF::API2; use constant mm => 25.4 / 72; use constant in => 1 / 72; use constant pt => 1; # Prompt user for database <http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1053595> file location $dbfile = Tkx::tk___getOpenFile(-initialdir=>'C:/events_p', -title=>'Please select your current events database file (event.sqlite)'); $dbfile =~ s/\//\\/g; # Initialiatize path variables # parse out the db filename and path $DbFilename=substr($dbfile,length($dbfile)-12,12); $FolderPath=substr($dbfile,0,length($dbfile)-13); $OriginalImages_Path=$FolderPath.\\OriginalImages <file:///\\%5C%5COriginalImages> ; $Internal_Path=$FolderPath.\\_internal <file:///\\%5C%5C_internal> ; $Carts_Path=$FolderPath.\\Carts <file:///\\%5C%5CCarts> ; $Orders_Path=$FolderPath.\\Orders <file:///\\%5C%5COrders> ; $favorites="c:\favorites"; $Invoices_Folder="C:\\events_p_invoices"; # Error and exit if incorrect DB filename was selected if ($DbFilename ne 'event.sqlite') { print "\n**** ERROR ****, Invalid Database Filename Selected\n"; print " You MUST select the filename called event.sqlite\n"; sleep(10); exit; } # Connect to the Database <http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1053595> my $dbh2 = DBI->connect("dbi:SQLite:$dbfile", "", "",{RaiseError => 1, AutoCommit => 1}) or die $DBI::errstr;; $dbh2->do('PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL'); my $sth = $dbh2->prepare("SELECT count(*) fromInvoice"); $sth->execute(); while (@data = $sth->fetchrow_array()) { print "count=$data[0]\n"; } exit; If I go into the firefox add on and run a checkpoint , the 2 new invoices get flushed from the WL to the db file and then my program sees them what am I doing wrong where my script is only looking at the db file and not the WAL file? thanks!
