I'm curious why the kamailio sqlite module doesn't export a
transaction API, especially since the native sqlite API does
support transactions according to <a moz-do-not-send="true"

someday, I'd get time to dig into the kamailio module myself to
try lending a hand...<br>

I guess nobody from dev team needed transaction operations for
sqlite, I expect that most of us use a larger sql server (mysql,
postgres) if they have presence services...<br>
<br>
Your contribution to add them will be very welcome, of course!<br>

Anyhow, the following is what I did to work around the locked db
errors:<br>
<br>
I'm not running BLF, but I have been using sqlite for my testing.
At first, I was getting occasional "database is locked" errors,
but then I enabled "wal" mode on my database on a hunch to speed
up operations. I didn't measure the actual db performance
before/after enabling wal, but the error messages went away after
enabling wal. (Now, I only get an occasional locked message if I
happen to have SIP tracing enabled and writing to the same
database as the rest of the kamailio tables. To work around this
issue, I just moved the sip_trace table to a separate sqlite db
file.)<br>
<br>
wal is described in detail at <a moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://www.sqlite.org/wal.html">https://www.sqlite.org/wal.html</a><br>
<br>
The following is the short script I wrote to remind myself how I
enabled wal. It just runs "<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_journal_mode">journal_mode=WAL;</a>"
on the database, and the database supposedly can be converted back
to the default via "
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=windows-1252">
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_journal_mode">journal_mode=DELETE;</a>".
(Though, the usual "cya" disclaimer of backing up your DB always
applies...)<br>

Very useful hint, many thanks for sharing all these details!<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi Daniel,
I switched to mysql and haven't looked back but I will take another
look with sqlite because it *should* work.
Thanks!

<pre wrap="">Hello,
I looked quickly at sqlite and the module doesn't export db transaction API,
so it is not what I thought in the first place (some presence operations try
to use db transactions if supported by db module). So it is something in
sqlite that locks the table. Do you see any error message in the logs before
the one with the table locked?
Cheers,
Daniel

<pre wrap="">Hello,
not using sqlite here, but could be related to presence modules doing db
transactions and not releasing the locks. Do you get the issue after the
first call, or it runs for a while and at some point it breaks?
Cheers,

<pre wrap="">Hello everyone,
I'm trying to use BLF with the config here (except with SQlite):

BLF seems to work perfectly except after the call is ended I get
"sqlite commit failed: database is locked" error messages as seen
here:
<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://pastebin.com/xVijj98H">http://pastebin.com/xVijj98H</a>
BLF is then broken at this point.
