SQLite3 database or disk is full / the database disk image is malformed

A few things to consider:

  • SQLite3 DB files grow roughly in multiples of the DB page size and do not shrink unless you use VACUUM. If you delete some rows, the freed space is marked internally and reused in later inserts. Therefore an insert will often not cause a change in the size of the backing DB file.

  • You should not use traditional backup tools for SQLite (or any other database, for that matter), since they do not take into account the DB state information that is critical to ensure an uncorrupted database. Especially, copying the DB files in the middle of an insert transaction is a recipe for disaster...

  • SQLite3 has an API specifically for backing-up or copying databases that are in use.

  • And yes, it does seem that your DB files are corrupted. It could be a hardware/filesystem error. Or perhaps you copied them while they were in use? Or maybe restored a backup that was not properly taken?

To repair a corrupt database you can use the sqlite3 commandline utility. Type in the following commands in a shell after setting the environment variables:

cd $DATABASE_LOCATION
echo '.dump'|sqlite3 $DB_NAME|sqlite3 repaired_$DB_NAME
mv $DB_NAME corrupt_$DB_NAME
mv repaired_$DB_NAME $DB_NAME

This code helped me recover a SQLite database I use as a persistent store for Core Data and which produced the following error upon save:

Could not save: NSError 259 in Domain NSCocoaErrorDomain { NSFilePath = mydata.db NSUnderlyingException = Fatal error. The database at mydata.db is corrupted. SQLite error code:11, 'database disk image is malformed' }

I use the following script for repairing malformed sqlite files:

#!/bin/bash

cat <( sqlite3 "$1" .dump | grep "^ROLLBACK" -v ) <( echo "COMMIT;" ) | sqlite3 "fix_$1"

Most of the time when a sqlite database is malformed it is still possible to make a dump. This dump is basically a lot of SQL statements that rebuild the database.

Some rows might be missing from the dump (probably becasue they are corrupted). If this is the case the INSERT statements of the missing rows will be replaced with some comments and the script will end with a ROLLBACK TRANSACTION.

So what we do here is we make the dump (malformed rows are excluded) and we replace the ROLLBACK with a COMMIT so that the entire dump script will be committed in stead of rolled back.

This method saved my life a couple of 100 times already \o/

To avoid getting "database or disk is full" in the first place, try this if you have lots of RAM:

sqlite> pragma temp_store = 2;

That tells SQLite to put temp files in memory. (The "database or disk is full" message does not mean either that the database is full or that the disk is full! It means the temp directory is full.) I have 256G of RAM but only 2G of /tmp, so this works great for me. The more RAM you have, the bigger db files you can work with.

If you haven't got a lot of ram, try this:

sqlite> pragma temp_store = 1;
sqlite> pragma temp_store_directory = '/directory/with/lots/of/space';

temp_store_directory is deprecated (which is silly, since temp_store is not deprecated and requires temp_store_directory), so be wary of using this in code.

I have seen this happen when the database gets corrupted, have you tried cloning it into a new one ?

Safely copy a SQLite database

It's trivially easy to copy a SQLite database. It's less trivial to do this in a way that won't corrupt it. Here's how:

shell$ sqlite3 some.db
sqlite> begin immediate;
<press CTRL+Z>
shell$ cp some.db some.db.backup
shell$ exit
sqlite> rollback;

This will give you a nice clean backup that's sure to be in a proper state, since writing to the database half-way through your copying process is impossible.

while using Google App Engine, i had this problem. For some reason i did following since then Google App Engine was never starting.

$ echo '' > /tmp/appengine.apprtc.root/*.db

To fix it i required to do manually:

$ sqlite3 datastore.db
sqlite> begin immediate;
<press CTRL+Z>
$ cp datastore.db logs.db

And then run the Google App Engine with flag: 

$ dev_appserver.py --clear_datastore --clear_search_index

after that it finally worked.

During app development I found that the messages come from the frequent and massive INSERT and UPDATE operations. Make sure to INSERT and UPDATE multiple rows or data in one single operation.

var updateStatementString : String! = ""

for item in cardids {
    let newstring = "UPDATE "+TABLE_NAME+" SET pendingImages = '\(pendingImage)\' WHERE cardId = '\(item)\';"
    updateStatementString.append(newstring)
}

print(updateStatementString)

let results = dbManager.sharedInstance.update(updateStatementString: updateStatementString)

return Int64(results)
