These consequences can come as a surprise when sqlite3 has silently opened a transaction without your knowledge.

You will not be able to enable or disable foreign key constraint enforcement.

You will not be able to open a write transaction in a different process, since by default SQLite only allows one write transaction at a time.

You will not be able to open a transaction in the same process with BEGIN.

Opening a transaction in SQLite has several implications: Instead, it will start a transaction before data manipulation language (DML) statements 1 such as INSERT and UPDATE, and, until Python 3.6, data definition language (DDL) statements such as CREATE TABLE. Python's sqlite3 module does not operate in autocommit mode. Once you open a transaction with BEGIN, however, subsequent changes will not be visible to the other terminal until you commit the transaction with COMMIT. You can verify this by opening the same database file with the sqlite3 command-line shell in two different terminals at the same time, and observing that, e.g., a row inserted in one terminal will be returned by a SELECT statement run in the other. Manage your transactions explicitlyīy default, the underlying SQLite library operates in autocommit mode, in which changes are committed immediately unless a transaction has been opened with BEGIN or SAVEPOINT. Since I prefer for my database to detect invalid foreign keys for me, and since (as we'll see below) the Python's sqlite3 module will sometimes open transactions implicitly, I run PRAGMA foreign_keys = 1 right after I open the connection to the database. Note that this pragma command must be run outside of a transaction if you run it while a transaction is active, it will silently do nothing. If you want the database to prevent you from inserting invalid foreign keys, then you must run PRAGMA foreign_keys = 1 to turn enforcement on.

Turn on foreign key enforcementįoreign key constraints are not enforced by default in SQLite. It's worth reading that first, as this post covers different topics. The official documentation for Python's sqlite3 module already has a section on "Using sqlite3 efficiently".

I'd like to share a few lessons I have learned on using SQLite effectively in Python. It is lightweight, reliable, well-documented, and better than the filesystem for persistent storage. Otherwise leave it at its default, which will result in a plain “BEGIN” statement, or set it to one of SQLite’s supported isolation levels: “DEFERRED”, “IMMEDIATE” or “EXCLUSIVE”.I use SQLite as the database for my personal projects in Python. If you want autocommit mode, then set isolation_level to None. You can control which kind of BEGIN statements sqlite3 implicitly executes (or none at all) via the isolation_level parameter to the connect() call, or via the isolation_level property of connections. The other reason is that sqlite3 needs to keep track of the transaction state (if a transaction is active or not). The first is that some of these commands don’t work within transactions. , VACUUM, PRAGMA, the sqlite3 module will commit implicitly before executing that command. So if you are within a transaction and issue a command like CREATE TABLE. anything other than SELECT or the aforementioned). INSERT/ UPDATE/ DELETE/ REPLACE), and commits transactions implicitly before a non-DML, non-query statement (i. However, Python tries to be clever and automatically begins transactions:īy default, the sqlite3 module opens transactions implicitly before a Data Modification Language (DML) statement (i.e.
