WinForm Database is locked SQLite
-
getConnection()returns anSQLiteConnection(not true/false). So you can use that using (var connection = Conexiune.getConnection()) -line. But as I see in that Conexiune-class, it already opens the connection for you. So the (new) error you're getting probably happens on my connection.Open() -line. Please remove that line and see what happens. As I've seen from your reply to Richard Deeming, who suggested almost the same new code as me, you still get the old error there. This makes me believe the cause is one of those listed on the page that Simon_Whale linked for you. Do you maybe have an open Select-query while you click on the button that calls updateIndex() ?If the brain were so simple we could understand it, we would be so simple we couldn't. — Lyall Watson
I removed that line and now database is still locked. Well, I have another function which selects data from table and is called by pressing on another button, but even if I don't press that button and try to call `updateIndex()` just after form loads, I still got the error..

Do you possibly have some Select-query that is executed in your program's startup-code (so it get's executed no matter what) ? If yes, you might comment that out for testing. Maybe you don't close the reader of that query properly so that it's still open when trying to execute updateIndex().

I am sure..Where I have used DataReader, I used CommnadBehavior.CloseConnection and after that I closed the reader. For example:
string selectareLicenta = "SELECT licenta FROM licente WHERE licenta = '" + maskedTextBox1.Text + "'";
using (SQLiteCommand cmd = new SQLiteCommand(selectareLicenta, Conexiune.getConnection()))
{
using (SQLiteDataReader read = cmd.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection))
{
if (read.Read())
{
SimulatorManager.Licenta = read["licenta"].ToString();
}
read.Close();
}

}
read.Close();
}
}I don't think this is the issue but for good practice you should change this like so:
string selectareLicenta = "SELECT licenta FROM licente WHERE licenta = '" + maskedTextBox1.Text + "'";
using (SQLiteConnection conn = Conexiune.getConnection())
using (SQLiteCommand cmd = new SQLiteCommand(selectareLicenta, conn))
using (SQLiteDataReader read = cmd.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection))
{
if (read.Read())
{
SimulatorManager.Licenta = read["licenta"].ToString();
}
// no need to explicitly close the reader when used in a using-block
}..and you also should use an Sql-Parameter here. Regarding the actual problem: I would suggest you double-check that all parts of your code where you run a select-query look like the above to ensure that the reader and connection get properly closed. For the purpose of testing you could execute an update-statement as the very first action in your program and see if that works.

It's ok, I have found the error! In class `cs` where I have `static void Main()`, this is the main class of the project, I have this code:
string selectutilizator = "SELECT * FROM accounts";
using (SQLiteCommand selcom = new SQLiteCommand(selectutilizator, Conexiune.getConnection()))
{
using (SQLiteDataReader read = selcom.ExecuteReader())
{
if (read.HasRows)
{
Application.Run(new Elev());
}
else Application.Run(new Intro());
}
}But I need this for the program..what is wrong there?

I tried to run the update on form loading and I get the error. It means that the error can be from the form that opens this form? Because I checked there and I have used `using` for everything and is ok..
Hmm. And there's nothing database-related happening before that in your code? Could probably another program be running and accessing the same database? Maybe there's some "zombie"-process of your program still running and keeping a connection to the database alive. See if rebooting Windows solves the issue.

Yep, that's the problem, most certainly. Application.Run(..) is a blocking call, so the DataReader is alive all the time. Just declare a boolean variable
hasRowsat the top of this code, assignread.HasRowsto it after ExecuteReader(), move the if-else out of the using-blocks and use the boolean variable there instead of the reader.If the brain were so simple we could understand it, we would be so simple we couldn't. — Lyall Watson

Yes, you right. Thank you very much! This is the solution:
string selectutilizator = "SELECT * FROM accounts";
bool hasrows=false;
using (SQLiteCommand selcom = new SQLiteCommand(selectutilizator, Conexiune.getConnection()))
{
using (SQLiteDataReader read = selcom.ExecuteReader())
{
if (read.HasRows)
{
hasrows=true;
}
}
}
if (hasrows) Application.Run(new Elev());
else Application.Run(new Intro()); -

You're welcome! :)
