Resolve SQLite Locked Error
- To fix “SQLite database is locked error code 5” the best solution is to create a backup of the database, which will have no locks on it. After that, replace the database with its backup copy.
- Sqlite> .backup main backup.Sqlite.
- Sqlite> .exit.
- $mv .x.Sqlite old.Sqlite.
- $mv backup.Sqlite .x.Sqlite.
- Open form in Design view.
- Make a right tap to the Customer Name field.
- In the Data tab, set the Enabled property to No and then set the Locked property to Yes.
Secondly, why sqlite database is locked?
The database gets locked in a situation when you try to DROP or CREATE an index or table while SELECT statement is still in a pending state. The main reason behind it is the misconception of the users that if the Sqlite3_() returns the SQLITE_DONE value, the SELECT statement is finished.
Yes SQLite can support multiple users at once. It does however lock the whole database when writing, so if you have lots of concurrent writes it is not the database you want (usually the time the database is locked is a few milliseconds - so for most uses this does not matter).
