In Igor’s Techno Club Contact Blog dated October 29, 2024, the author addresses common misconceptions about SQLite, noting that the belief it is a single connection database is false. The author clarifies that SQLite actually supports multiple concurrent read operations, while write operations are handled with a write lock at the database level, allowing only one connection to write at a time. However, the author suggests a workaround by initiating an IMMEDIATE TRANSACTION to queue queries for retrying the write lock acquisition later. This information may surprise readers who are unfamiliar with SQLite’s capabilities and dispels a common misunderstanding in the tech community.
