<p>
When two or more connections access the same database in shared-cache
mode, read and write (shared and exclusive) locks on individual tables
are used to ensure that concurrently executing transactions are kept
isolated. Before writing to a table, a write (exclusive) lock must be
obtained on that table. Before reading, a read (shared) lock must be
obtained. A connection releases all held table locks when it concludes
its transaction. If a connection cannot obtain a required lock, then
the call to <a href="c3ref/step.html">sqlite3_step()</a> returns SQLITE_LOCKED.
<p>
Although it is less common, a call to <a href="c3ref/prepare.html">sqlite3_prepare()</a> or
<a href="c3ref/prepare.html">sqlite3_prepare_v2()</a> may also return SQLITE_LOCKED if it cannot obtain
a read-lock on the <a href="schematab.html">sqlite_schema table</a> of each attached database. These
APIs need to read the schema data contained in the sqlite_schema table
in order to compile SQL statements to <a href="c3ref/stmt.html">sqlite3_stmt*</a> objects.
<p>
This article presents a technique using the SQLite <a href="c3ref/unlock_notify.html">sqlite3_unlock_notify()</a>
interface such that calls to <a href="c3ref/step.html">sqlite3_step()</a> and <a href="c3ref/prepare.html">sqlite3_prepare_v2()</a>
block until the required locks are available instead of returning
SQLITE_LOCKED immediately. If the
sqlite3_blocking_step() or sqlite3_blocking_prepare_v2() functions presented
to the left return SQLITE_LOCKED, this indicates that to block would
deadlock the system.
<p>
The <a href="c3ref/unlock_notify.html">sqlite3_unlock_notify()</a> API, which is only available if the library is
compiled with the pre-processor symbol <a href="compile.html#enable_unlock_notify">SQLITE_ENABLE_UNLOCK_NOTIFY</a> defined,
is <a href="c3ref/unlock_notify.html">documented here</a>. This article is not a
substitute for reading the full API documentation!
<p>
The <a href="c3ref/unlock_notify.html">sqlite3_unlock_notify()</a> interface is designed for use in systems
that have a separate thread assigned to each <a href="c3ref/sqlite3.html">database connection</a>. There
is nothing in the implementation that prevents a single thread from running
multiple database connections. However, the <a href="c3ref/unlock_notify.html">sqlite3_unlock_notify()</a>
interface only works on a single connection at a time, so the lock
resolution logic presented here will only work for a single
database connection per thread.
<p><b>The sqlite3_unlock_notify() API</b>
<p>
After a call to <a href="c3ref/step.html">sqlite3_step()</a> or <a href="c3ref/prepare.html">sqlite3_prepare_v2()</a> returns
SQLITE_LOCKED, the <a href="c3ref/unlock_notify.html">sqlite3_unlock_notify()</a> API may be invoked to register
for an unlock-notify callback. The unlock-notify callback is invoked by
SQLite after the database connection holding the table-lock that prevented
the call to <a href="c3ref/step.html">sqlite3_step()</a> or <a href="c3ref/prepare.html">sqlite3_prepare_v2()</a> from succeeding has
finished its transaction and released all locks. For example, if a call to
sqlite3_step() is an attempt to read from table X, and some other connection
Y is holding a write-lock on table X, then sqlite3_step() will return
SQLITE_LOCKED. If <a href="c3ref/unlock_notify.html">sqlite3_unlock_notify()</a> is then called, the unlock-notify
callback will be invoked after connection Y's transaction is concluded. The
connection that the unlock-notify callback is waiting on, in this case
connection Y, is known as the "blocking connection".
<p>
If a call to sqlite3_step() that attempts to write to a database table
returns SQLITE_LOCKED, then more than one other connection may be holding
a read-lock on the database table in question. In this case SQLite simply
selects one of those other connections arbitrarily and issues the
unlock-notify callback when that connection's transaction is finished.
Whether the call to sqlite3_step() was blocked by one or many connections,
when the corresponding unlock-notify callback is issued it is not
guaranteed that the required lock is available, only that it may be.
<p>
When the unlock-notify callback is issued, it is issued from within a
call to sqlite3_step() (or sqlite3_close()) associated with the blocking
connection. It is illegal to invoke any sqlite3_XXX() API functions from
within an unlock-notify callback. The expected use is that the unlock-notify
callback will signal some other waiting thread or schedule some action
to take place later.
<p>
The algorithm used by the sqlite3_blocking_step() function is as follows:

<li><p> Call sqlite3_step() on the supplied statement handle. If the call
returns anything other than SQLITE_LOCKED, then return this value
to the caller. Otherwise, continue.
<li><p> Invoke <a href="c3ref/unlock_notify.html">sqlite3_unlock_notify()</a> on the database connection handle
associated with the supplied statement handle to register for an
unlock-notify callback. If the call to unlock_notify() returns
SQLITE_LOCKED, then return this value to the caller.
<li><p> Block until the unlock-notify callback is invoked by another thread.
<li><p> Call sqlite3_reset() on the statement handle. Since an
SQLITE_LOCKED error may only occur on the first call to sqlite3_step()
(it is not possible for one call to sqlite3_step() to return
SQLITE_ROW and then the next SQLITE_LOCKED), the statement handle may
be reset at this point without affecting the results of the query
from the point of view of the caller. If sqlite3_reset() were not
called at this point, the next call to sqlite3_step() would return
SQLITE_MISUSE.
<li><p> Return to step 1.
</ol>
<p>
The algorithm used by the sqlite3_blocking_prepare_v2() function is similar,
except that step 4 (resetting the statement handle) is omitted.
<p><b>Writer Starvation</b>
<p>
Multiple connections may hold a read-lock simultaneously. If many threads
are acquiring overlapping read-locks, it might be the case that at least
one thread is always holding a read lock.
Then a table waiting for a write-lock will wait forever.
This scenario is called "writer starvation."
<p>
SQLite helps applications avoid writer starvation. After any attempt to
obtain a write-lock on a table fails (because one or more other
connections are holding read-locks), all attempts to open new transactions
on the shared-cache fail until one of the following is true:
<ul>
<li> The current writer concludes its transaction, OR
<li> The number of open read-transactions on the shared-cache drops to zero.
</ul>
<p>
Failed attempts to open new read-transactions return SQLITE_LOCKED to the
caller. If the caller then calls <a href="c3ref/unlock_notify.html">sqlite3_unlock_notify()</a> to register for
an unlock-notify callback, the blocking connection is the connection that
currently has an open write-transaction on the shared-cache. This prevents
writer-starvation since if no new read-transactions may be opened and
assuming all existing read-transactions are eventually concluded, the
writer will eventually have an opportunity to obtain the required
write-lock.
<p><b>The pthreads API</b>
<p> By the time <a href="c3ref/unlock_notify.html">sqlite3_unlock_notify()</a> is invoked by
wait_for_unlock_notify(), it is possible that the blocking connection
that prevented the sqlite3_step() or sqlite3_prepare_v2() call from
succeeding has already finished its transaction. In this case, the
unlock-notify callback is invoked immediately, before
<a href="c3ref/unlock_notify.html">sqlite3_unlock_notify()</a> returns. Or, it is possible that the
unlock-notify callback is invoked by a second thread after
<a href="c3ref/unlock_notify.html">sqlite3_unlock_notify()</a> is called but before the thread starts waiting
to be asynchronously signaled.
<p> Exactly how such a potential race-condition is handled depends on the
threads and synchronization primitives interface used by the application.
This example uses pthreads, the interface provided by modern UNIX-like
systems, including Linux.
<p> The pthreads interface provides the pthread_cond_wait() function.
This function allows the caller to simultaneously release a mutex
and start waiting for an asynchronous signal. Using this function,
a "fired" flag and a mutex, the race-condition described above may
be eliminated as follows:
<p> When the unlock-notify callback is invoked, which may be before the
thread that called <a href="c3ref/unlock_notify.html">sqlite3_unlock_notify()</a> begins waiting for the
asynchronous signal, it does the following:
<ol>
<li> Obtains the mutex.
<li> Sets the "fired" flag to true.
<li> Attempts to signal a waiting thread.
<li> Releases the mutex.
</ol>
<p> When the wait_for_unlock_notify() thread is ready to begin waiting for
the unlock-notify callback to arrive, it:
<ol>
<li> Obtains the mutex.
<li> Checks if the "fired" flag has been set. If so, the unlock-notify
callback has already been invoked. Release the mutex and continue.
<li> Atomically releases the mutex and begins waiting for the
asynchronous signal. When the signal arrives, continue.
</ol>
<p> This way, it doesn't matter if the unlock-notify callback has already
been invoked, or is being invoked, when the wait_for_unlock_notify()
thread begins blocking.
<p><b>Possible Enhancements</b>
<p> The code in this article could be improved in at least two ways:
<ul>
<li> It could manage thread priorities.
<li> It could handle a special case of SQLITE_LOCKED that can occur
when dropping a table or index.
</ul>
<p>
Even though the <a href="c3ref/unlock_notify.html">sqlite3_unlock_notify()</a> function only allows the caller
to specify a single user-context pointer, an unlock-notify callback
is passed an array of such context pointers. This is because if when
a blocking connection concludes its transaction, if there is more
than one unlock-notify registered to call the same C function, the
context-pointers are marshaled into an array and a single callback
issued. If each thread were assigned a priority, then instead of just
signaling the threads in arbitrary order as this implementation does,
higher priority threads could be signaled before lower priority threads.
<p>
If a "DROP TABLE" or "DROP INDEX" SQL command is executed, and the
same database connection currently has one or more actively
executing SELECT statements, then SQLITE_LOCKED is returned. If
<a href="c3ref/unlock_notify.html">sqlite3_unlock_notify()</a> is called in this case, then the specified
callback will be invoked immediately. Re-attempting the "DROP
TABLE" or "DROP INDEX" statement will return another SQLITE_LOCKED
error. In the implementation of sqlite3_blocking_step() shown to the
left, this could cause an infinite loop.
<p>
The caller could distinguish between this special "DROP TABLE|INDEX"
case and other cases by using <a href="rescode.html#extrc">extended error codes</a>. When it is appropriate
to call <a href="c3ref/unlock_notify.html">sqlite3_unlock_notify()</a>, the extended error code is
SQLITE_LOCKED_SHAREDCACHE. Otherwise, in the "DROP TABLE|INDEX" case,
it is just plain SQLITE_LOCKED. Another solution might be to limit
the number of times that any single query could be reattempted (to say
100). Although this might be less efficient than one might wish, the
situation in question is not likely to occur often.
