establish_connection causes ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: SQLite3::BusyException: database is locked

Reported by Jens | August 22nd, 2010 @ 10:49 PM

In Rails 2.3.8

With the configuration below (and rails project attached)

Second.create fails with Sqlite3::BusyException.

Removing establish_connection, it will work again.

/////////////// MODELS

class First < ActiveRecord::Base
establish_connection :development

belongs_to :second end

class Second < ActiveRecord::Base
has_one :first, :dependent => :destroy establish_connection :development

def before_validation_on_create

build_first

end end

////////////////// WITH MIGRATIONS

lass CreateFirsts < ActiveRecord::Migration
def self.up

create_table :firsts, :id => false do |t|

  t.references :second
  t.timestamps
end

end

def self.down

drop_table :firsts

end end
class CreateSeconds < ActiveRecord::Migration
def self.up

create_table :seconds do |t|

  t.timestamps
end

end

def self.down

drop_table :seconds

end end

    What i can conclude is that since I use establish_connection in all models, they will not share connection pools at all. Even though they could (since they connect to the same database). This causes two different connections to access the sqlite file causing the lock.

    Any feasable options here?

    This willa ctually fix it. Maybe this should close the "bug"?

    class Legacy < ActiveRecord::Base
    establish_connection :some_other_db self.abstract_class = true end

    That is, if First, and Second inherit from Legacy.
