sqlite3_busy_timeout

sqlite3_busy_timeout sets the time limit to open a locked SQLite database.

bool = sqlite3_busy_timeout(db, nMilliSeconds)

Return Value

bool.

Parameters

db

db is a handle returned by sqlite3_open.

nMilliSeconds

nMilliSeconds is a time in milliseconds.

Comment

When the SQLite database is accessed for reading it is locked for writing until the reading access is finished. Another process cannot access the database while it is locked. The timeout time sets a limit while this process tries to access the locked database. If the database is unlocked within the timeout time it can be accessed, otherwise an access fails.
