Intermittent “Column Does Not Belong to Table” Error in High-Concurrency SQLite Application

Intermittent “Column Does Not Belong to Table” Error in High-Concurrency SQLite Application

Issue Overview: Intermittent Column Mismatch During High-Frequency Database Operations The core issue reported involves an intermittent System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteException with the message "Column ‘ORD_SERIAL_NO’ does not belong to table" in a high-throughput C# application using SQLite 3.40.0. The application processes real-time trading data at rates of 300-400 trades per second, with frequent insertions and deletions. The error…

SQLite Connection Dispose() Blocks Other Database Operations

SQLite Connection Dispose() Blocks Other Database Operations

Issue Overview: Connection Dispose() Causes System-Wide Blocking The core issue revolves around the Dispose() method of a SqliteConnection object causing a system-wide blocking effect, preventing other SQLite databases from being opened or read. This behavior is particularly problematic in a multi-threaded environment where multiple databases are accessed concurrently. The blocking occurs during the Dispose() call,…

SQLite Page Defragmentation and Cell Pointer Array Management

SQLite Page Defragmentation and Cell Pointer Array Management

SQLite Page Structure and Fragmentation Dynamics A SQLite database is organized into fixed-size pages, typically 4 KB in size. Each page is a self-contained unit that stores either table data (as B-tree pages) or index data (as B+-tree pages). The structure of a B-tree page is critical to understanding how SQLite manages storage efficiency and…

Missing sqlite3_get_autocommit in SQLite WASM Build: Causes and Workarounds

Missing sqlite3_get_autocommit in SQLite WASM Build: Causes and Workarounds

Issue Overview: sqlite3_get_autocommit Function Unavailable in SQLite WASM Build The core issue revolves around the unavailability of the sqlite3_get_autocommit function in the SQLite WebAssembly (WASM) build. This function is crucial for determining whether a database connection is currently in autocommit mode, a state where each SQL statement is automatically wrapped in its own transaction. Autocommit…
