I understand that performing a SELECT and nested COMMIT on the same table is not supported in sqlite, but I would have expected a COMMIT on a separate table would not be a problem. Some test code in python however reveals that performing the COMMIT disrupts the SELECT statement, and causes duplicate data to be returned.
If this is not a supported operation, would you mind pointing me to the docs so I can understand it better? Example #!/usr/bin/env python import sqlite3 as sq db = sq.connect(':memory:') db.execute('CREATE TABLE tbl (col INTEGER)') db.execute('CREATE TABLE tbl2 (col INTEGER)') db.executemany('INSERT INTO tbl (col) VALUES (?)', [(0,), (1,), (2,)]) db.commit() print('count=' + str(db.execute('SELECT count(*) FROM tbl').fetchone()[0])) # Read and print the values just inserted into tbl for col in db.execute('SELECT col FROM tbl'): print(col) db.execute('INSERT INTO tbl2 VALUES (?)', col) db.commit() print('count=' + str(db.execute('SELECT count(*) FROM tbl').fetchone()[0])) The output is: count=3 (0,) (1,) (0,) (1,) (2,) count=3 Tested on Linux: sqlite version 3.7.13 # uname -a Linux ecom6.hck.carroll.com 3.16-0.bpo.3-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.5-1~bpo70+1 (2014-11-02) x86_64 GNU/Linux Tested on Windows Sqlite version 3.6.21 Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
