SQLite keeps the database locked even after the connection is closed

Question

I\'m using System.Data.SQLite provider in an ASP.NET application (framework 4.0). The issue I\'m running into is that when I INSERT something in a table in the SQLite databa

Answer 1

As said earlier SQLite objects must be destroyed. However, there is a strange behavior: connection must be open during a call Dispose on commands. For example:

using(var connection = new SqliteConnection("source.db"))
{
    connection.Open();
    using(var command = connection.CreateCommand("select..."))
    {
        command.Execute...
    }
}

works fine, but:

using(var connection = new SqliteConnection("source.db"))
{
    connection.Open();
    using(var command = connection.CreateCommand("select..."))
    {
        command.Execute...
        connection.Close();
    }
}

gives the same file lock
