Sqlite3 has some restrictions that most (all?) other SQL databases don't have. One critical one is that, with a few exceptions, you are not allowed to have more than one statement open on a given database simultaneously. This has bitten me a few times as well. I suspect that you may simply need to call finish on your statement after you're done with your query. This would be the most critical on your updates (INSERT and UPDATE queries). If you post your code, I could probably point out specific problems. -- John _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
