Niall,
I'm using a dbname of 'file:memdb2?mode=memory&cache=shared' in order to allow
several threads to connect
to the same in-memory DB (per docs at: http://www.sqlite.org/inmemorydb.html).
This works great! (And works around a dumb limitation od DBI/iThreads.)
The problem is that (despite the assertion in the above-linked docs to the
affect: "The database is automatically deleted and memory is reclaimed when the
last connection to the database closes."), this in-memory database actually
persists. Ie. Beyond the life of the program that created it.
That is, I create a DB via a connect string as above, and insert (say) 1000
records; query & print count(*) (prints 1000); and then end the program.
If then run the program a second time, the count output is 2000! And the 3rd
time 3000...
Looking in the cwd, I see a file (called 'file'), but it has size 0? Looking
further I discover that it has and Alternate stream named:
:memdb2?mode=memory&cache=shared:$DATA
With a size of: 347136
IF I delete that "zero-length" file, then the next run of the program returns a
count(8) of 1000 as expected.
So, the question is: Why is this file not being deleted?
As far as I can tell I am doing everything I can to enable it -- finish()ing my
statement handles and disconnecting my connections -- but it still persists
unless I unlink the file.
Is this a sqlite bug? Or a DBD::Sqlite bug? or a DBI bug; or some interaction
between 1 or more of those and threading?
Thoughts?
Cheers, Buk.
