Hi, I have an application where one thread (A) is executing various statements and another thread (B) is performing an online backup. These two threads share the same source database connection; the SQLite threading mode is set to serialized.
I wish to stop the online backup from another thread as quickly and safely as possible. In particular, I want to interrupt a potentially time consuming sqlite3_backup_step call. I thought calling sqlite3_interrupt on the online backup destination database would be ideal, since I do not want to potentially stop A's execution by calling interrupt on the source database. However the online backup documentation ( http://www.sqlite.org/c3ref/backup_finish.html) states that an application "must guarantee that the destination database connection is not passed to any other API (by any thread) after sqlite3_backup_init() is called." So, my question is: is it safe to call sqlite3_interrupt on the destination database connection of an online backup? Thank you! _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
