c# Resolve SQlite Concurrency Exception Problem (Using Read-Write Lock)

This article describes the c# example to solve the problem of SQlite concurrent exception method. To share with you for your reference, as follows:

Access to sqlite using c#, often encounter multithreading SQLITE database damage caused by the problem.

SQLite is a file-level database, the lock is the file level : multiple threads can be read at the same time, but only one thread to write. Android provides the SqliteOpenHelper class, adding Java’s locking mechanism for invocation. But does not provide similar functionality in c#.

The author uses the ReaderWriterLock to achieve the goal of multi-thread secure access.

The code is invoked as follows:

SQLiteConnection conn = null;
try
{
  conn = SqliteConn.GetInstance().GetConnection();
  // Write your own code here. 
}
finally
{
  SqliteConn.GetInstance().ReleaseConn();
}

It is worth noting that each application connection, you must use the ReleaseConn method to release, otherwise the other thread can no longer be connected.

For security reasons, the most stringent read and write lock restrictions are enabled in the tool class written by the author (ie, they can not be read at the time of writing). If the data is read frequently, the reader can also develop a way to get read-only connections to improve performance.
