有些函数，比如INDEX'ing，可能会花费很长时间——而且在运行时它会锁定整个数据库。在这种情况下，它甚至可能不使用日志文件!

因此，最好/唯一的方法来检查您的数据库是否被锁定，因为一个进程正在积极地写入它(因此你应该让它独自呆着，直到它完成它的操作)是md5(或md5sum在某些系统)文件两次。 如果你得到一个不同的校验和，数据库正在被写入，你真的真的真的不想杀死这个进程，因为如果你这样做，你很容易得到一个损坏的表/数据库。

我要重申一下，因为这很重要——解决方案不是找到锁程序并杀死它——而是找出数据库是否有一个很好的写锁，然后从那里开始。有时候正确的解决方法就是喝杯咖啡休息一下。

The only way to create this locked-but-not-being-written-to situation is if your program runs BEGIN EXCLUSIVE, because it wanted to do some table alterations or something, then for whatever reason never sends an END afterwards, and the process never terminates. All three conditions being met is highly unlikely in any properly-written code, and as such 99 times out of 100 when someone wants to kill -9 their locking process, the locking process is actually locking your database for a good reason. Programmers don't typically add the BEGIN EXCLUSIVE condition unless they really need to, because it prevents concurrency and increases user complaints. SQLite itself only adds it when it really needs to (like when indexing).

Finally, the 'locked' status does not exist INSIDE the file as several answers have stated - it resides in the Operating System's kernel. The process which ran BEGIN EXCLUSIVE has requested from the OS a lock be placed on the file. Even if your exclusive process has crashed, your OS will be able to figure out if it should maintain the file lock or not!! It is not possible to end up with a database which is locked but no process is actively locking it!! When it comes to seeing which process is locking the file, it's typically better to use lsof rather than fuser (this is a good demonstration of why: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/94316/fuser-vs-lsof-to-check-files-in-use). Alternatively if you have DTrace (OSX) you can use iosnoop on the file.

我在谷歌Chrome浏览器中查看存储的密码时遇到了这个错误。

# ~/.config/google-chrome/Default
$ sqlite3 Login\ Data
SQLite version 3.35.5 2021-04-19 18:32:05
sqlite> .tables
Error: database is locked

如果你不是特别关心父进程，或者你不想停止当前正在使用数据库的chrome进程，只需将文件复制到其他地方。

$ cp Login\ Data ~/tmp/ld.sql
$ sqlite3 ~/tmp/ld.sql .tables
field_info              meta   sync_model_metadata   
insecure_credentials    stats                 
logins                  sync_entities_metadata

这样做将允许您读取数据库的内容，而不打扰或停止主chrome进程。

SQLite wiki DatabaseIsLocked页面提供了此错误消息的解释。在某种程度上，它指出争用的来源是内部的(对发出错误的进程而言)。本页没有解释的是SQLite如何决定进程中的某些东西持有锁，以及哪些条件会导致误报。

当您试图从同一个数据库连接同时对数据库执行两项不兼容的操作时，就会出现此错误代码。

在v3中引入的有关文件锁定的变化可能对未来的读者有用，可以在这里找到:SQLite版本3中的文件锁定和并发性

应该是数据库的内部问题… 对我来说，这是在尝试用“SQLite管理器”浏览数据库后表现出来的… 所以，如果你找不到另一个连接到数据库的进程，你也无法修复它， 试试这个激进的解决方案:

提供导出您的表(您可以在Firefox上使用“SQLite管理器”) 如果迁移改变了数据库方案，请删除上次失败的迁移 重命名“数据库”。sqlite”文件 执行“rake db:migrate”创建一个新的工作数据库 提供给正确的权限数据库表的导入 导入备份的表 编写新的迁移 执行"rake db:migrate"

这个环节解决了问题。:当Sqlite给出:数据库锁定错误 它解决了我的问题也许对你有用。

并且可以使用开始事务和结束事务来避免将来数据库被锁定。
