Sql Lite Locking

I am having the issue that SQLite puts a lock on the table if I do a select statement and then the lock is not released.
I can release the lock by doing an sql "commit", or leaving the application.

USYS$SLE_PARAMS options for wal and locking are not set

Is this normal behaviour?

Example

sql "select 1 from uform", "def"
;;; wait 30 minutes
;;;; table is locked


sql "commit", "def"
;;; lock is removed

Hi Osman,

AFAIK SQLLite is one of those "black box" database aiming to WriteOneReadMany scenarios; it is NOT a valid choice for a multiuser environment.

Hi Gianni,

I am using it as a single user but with 2 sessions (1 ide, 1 runtime that accesses the sqlite DICT).
For now, this seems to solve it, but I doubt 2 ide sessions would work without locking.

sql/data sSql, "DEF" 
nList = $result 
sql "commit", "DEF"

Hi Osman,

from locking perspective 2 sessions on same node/machine are acting like 2 users.

Hi Gianni

Sqllite does work with multi ide sessions and a gui like sqlite studio. So, it can open multi sessions.  Soliddb had no problems either.
It just seems that the uniface connector has a problem if one wants to open a path to the sqlite database.  If i read data from an sqlite connection, the ide is blocked.

@Daniel is there a hidden option or can we add it to the wish list.

The described behavior is as documented. For details see:

• DBMS Support > Database Connectors > SQLite > Locking Considerations for SQLite
• SQLite: Write-Ahead Logging

Enabling the "Write-Ahead Log" (WAL) option in the database should solve the mentioned locking problem.

I hope this clarifies this matter.
