If a transaction is opened on a DB for which a journal file exists, and fcntl() returns EACCES or EPERM on the attempt to acquire a write lock on the DB to replay the journal, SQLite 3.5.9 quietly ignores the journal without replaying it and continues on. This is a serious bug.
SQLite 3.6.14.2 keeps trying the write lock forever on EACCES or immediately fails on EPERM, which is the proper behavior. An example scenario is an abort during a user writing to the DB with access to do so followed by another user trying to read the DB with no access to write it. Even though this appears to be fixed in 3.6.14.2, I thought this should be documented and perhaps analyzed in the 3.5.9 source to make sure no similar problems are still in 3.6.14.2. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list [email protected] http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
