Sqlite python sqlite3.OperationalError: database is locked

Question

I have written the following code, which is showing the sqlite3.OperationalError: database is locked error. Any help to debug would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

I had the same issue but it was resolved when I used the following to close the concurrent connections.

conn.close()

So, if your program begins like this:

import sqlite3

conn = sqlite3.connect('pg_example.db', timeout=10)
c = conn.cursor()

Make sure that you're including the conn.close() after each SQL statement

t = ('RHAT',)
c.execute('SELECT * FROM stocks WHERE symbol=?', t)
conn.commit()
conn.close() #This is the one you need
