Re: [sqlite] SQLite version 3.6.14 and async vfs

2009-05-07 Thread Ken

Obviously i had not looked at the code. I see now that the async code is 
registered as a VFS... And thanks to Dan there is only one background thread 
and queue.

One could implement the background thread and a function, mutex and condition 
variable so that the function would call the sqlite3async_control setting the 
SQLITEASYNC_HALT_IDLE. The function would then block on the condition awaiting 
the running thread to complete the work. The running thread would then signal 
the condition causing the "waiting" function to return.

2009-05-07 Thread Virgilio Alexandre Fornazin
This break purpose of VFS, all VFS should work in same way, you must not
know if your VFS is asynchronous
or not. VFS close method should wait for all file I/O on this database
handle (not all databases) to 
finalize before returning, providing compatibility with all other existing
VFS implementations.

I see the confusion with the word "Shutdown".

How about but a call that would block until the async thread completes all
operations that are enqueued. Effectively a Close of the async thread/queue
and db. The call could be sqlite3Async_close.

Hope that clarifies my intent.

Re: [sqlite] SQLite version 3.6.14 and async vfs

2009-05-07 Thread Pavel Ivanov
According to the fact that queue in async vfs is one for all databases
and along with closing of one database there could be some writings to
another ones, method of catching the return from sqlite3async_run()
can be significantly delayed if work at all...

Ok, thank you for the extension anyway. I will think what can I do in
this situation.

Not easily. With the current code you could call sqlite3async_control()
to configure the background thread to return when the write-queue is  
empty
(SQLITEASYNC_HALT_IDLE). When the call to sqlite3async_run() returns you
can be sure that the queue is empty and thus any close-file operation  
must
have been flushed through.

True statement.

Re: [sqlite] SQLite version 3.6.14 and async vfs

2009-05-07 Thread Ken

I see the confusion with the word "Shutdown".

How about but a call that would block until the async thread completes all 
operations that are enqueued. Effectively a Close of the async thread/queue and 
db. The call could be sqlite3Async_close.

Hope that clarifies my intent.

Shutdown is not an option at all. I need vfs to continue working on
other databases but to be notified (or have possibility to check) when
one particular database is no longer opened.

Without actually looking at the async code I think that instead of using the 
sqlite3_close to cause a block there should be a "shutdown" that would wait for 
the shutdown of the async thread to complete. So maybe a better name would be 
sqlite3Async_close or something similar.

Close should wait for all file operations complete to meet that needs.
I think asynchronous VFS should take care of waiting in sqlite3_close()
call.

Hi!

It's great to hear about performance improvements and especially about
asynchronous I/O extension. Thank you very much for your work!

I have one question though: taking quick look at the sources of async
vfs I've noticed that even closing the file is just a task in the
async queue and thus after closing sqlite connection file remains
opened for some time. It sounds pretty reasonable, but here stands the
question: what if I want to do something with the database file after
I close sqlite connection to it (e.g. move to the archive directory,
zip it etc.)? With sync vfs I could be sure that after closing
connection file is closed and I can do with it whatever I want. Is
there a way to catch the moment of actual file closing with async vfs?

And another question just to be sure that I understand it correctly:
async vfs holds only one queue for all opened database files, right?

Re: [sqlite] SQLite version 3.6.14 and async vfs

2009-05-07 Thread Pavel Ivanov
Hi!

It's great to hear about performance improvements and especially about
asynchronous I/O extension. Thank you very much for your work!

I have one question though: taking quick look at the sources of async
vfs I've noticed that even closing the file is just a task in the
async queue and thus after closing sqlite connection file remains
opened for some time. It sounds pretty reasonable, but here stands the
question: what if I want to do something with the database file after
I close sqlite connection to it (e.g. move to the archive directory,
zip it etc.)? With sync vfs I could be sure that after closing
connection file is closed and I can do with it whatever I want. Is
there a way to catch the moment of actual file closing with async vfs?

And another question just to be sure that I understand it correctly:
async vfs holds only one queue for all opened database files, right?
