hi, I am currently using sqlite version 3.5.9 on WinCE 5.0. As per the posts in the forums I do understand that when a cursor is open on a connection we cannot update the database using transactions on the same thread.
open cursor... begin transaction; update statements.... commit transaction. finalize cursor But I found the below post in the forums which suggests different methods for updating the database using transactions when a cursor is open. http://www.mail-archive.com/sqlite-users@sqlite.org/msg08044.html I tried the first method in the post .. But I am still getting SQLITE_ERROR .. with the error description as "cannot commit transaction - SQL statements in progress". Some tips on the queries listed below may help me in resolving the issue. 1) Do the methods mentioned in the link above still hold or am I missing something... ?? 2) The whole reason of using the transactions is to increase the speed as the updates take time on USB disks. Is there any other way of increasing the speed other than PRAGMA synchronous= OFF and PRAGMA journal_mode = OFF ?? 3) Can updating the database using transaction from different threads with work around solve this issue? If yes, then I would be greatful if the details of the work around are provided. 4) If I update the database in the below mentioned sequence without transactions then everything works fine open cursor... update statements.... finalize cursor As per the sqlite documentation every statement that is executed is treated as a transaction and the database is updated even if the cursor is open.How is this transaction in auto commit mode different from the transactions created by using "begin transaction" and "commit transactions"?? /cheers, Yatin Salian The people who mind don't matter and the people who matter don't mind. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
