PySqlite

PySqlite is a Python binding for the SQLite light-weight database engine, which is Trac's default DatabaseBackend.

Installation

The short version

If you're using Python 2.5 and up, you already have a working version of pysqlite 2, bundled as sqlite3. You can stop here ;-)

If you are using an older version of Python or you'd like to benefit from the latest and greatest version of pysqlite, grab Windows installer or the source .tar.gz from the official Downloads.

If you need to build from this .tar.gz, simply do after unpacking:

python setup.py build_static install

This will fetch the latest SQLite version and bundle it within the extension.

The SQLite library

Trac supports SQLite 3.x, like SQLite 3.3.8, 3.5.6, etc. The latest tested as of this writing (3.6.12) works fine.

Pay attention to database format changes when upgrading the SQLite library.See below how to upgrade your database, if needed (SQLite v2.x is no longer supported in 0.12.x, use it at your own risks with earlier versions of Trac).The recent WAL mode introduced with sqlite 3.7.0 also works great with Trac.

Downloading SQLite

The latest stable version of SQLite can be obtained on theSQLite download page.

But you don't need to download it by yourself, if you install the pysqlite bindings from a package, it will usually come with the SQLite code bundled.

If you build the pysqlite bindings by yourself, you alsohave the possibility to use the build_static mode, whichwill download the latest "amalgamation" code of SQLite andbuild it together with the extension code.

Building SQLite yourself

If you really insist in being in full control…

Note: If you want to use Trac in a multi-threaded setupby using either TracModPython or TracStandalone, be sure to build athread-safe version of SQLite, by using the --enable-threadsafe configuration switch.

If you use a non thread-safe library, which is unfortunately what youget by default on non-windows platforms, you face the risk to get persistent database locks (see #2170).

The Pysqlite2 bindings

The latest stable version available at pysqlite.googlecode.com as of this writing is 2.5.6, and it works fine with Trac.

Detailed information about older releases:

Trac 0.11.x still supports the 1.x release branch of PySqlite
- version 1.1.6 as of this writing,
- version 1.1.7 required if using SQLite ≥ 3.3.3 But really, you should be using the 2.x versions, at this time.
Trac 0.12.x requires one of the newer 2.x release branch
- version ≥ 2.0.5 preferred,
- 2.0.3 has been reported to cause crashes on Windows
- version 2.0.7 required if using SQLite ≥ 3.3.3
The 2.1.3 version appears to work well with Trac.This release branch features a new statement cache and a better handling of concurrent write operations.
The 2.2.0 version appears to work with Trac as well(I tested the 2.4 egg from initd on Windows, and on Linux I built it from source, linking with sqlite-3.3.4; so far both are working perfectly)
The 2.3.2 version is the one which ships with Python 2.5 (available there as the sqlite3 package. Trac tries to use it if the pysqlite2 package is installed).
You need 2.3.3 if you use Apache and mod_cache (see Pysqlite:#174).
The versions 2.5.2 - 2.5.4 have a bug that prevents upgrading from 0.11 to 0.12 (and possibly other breakage), so don't use any of those (see #9434).

Note that bug reports involving the obsolete pysqlite 1.0.x (for SQLite v2)will simply not be considered. Starting with 0.11.6, there will be an explicitdeprecation warning and in 0.12, support for that version will be removed.

Downloading Pysqlite

The source tarballs for the versions listed above are available from theDownloads tab.

Building pysqlite

The recommended way to build the SQLite bindings is to do a static_build,which will download the latest sqlite3 amalgamation file, build and link it insidethe pysqlite module:

$ tar xvfz <version>.tar.gz $ cd <version> $ python setup.py build_static install

Note: Users of Mac OS X please take care; the Apple-supplied SQLite contains additional code to support file locking on network filesystems like AFP or SMB. This is not presently (3.3.6) in the mainline sources, so if you build your own SQLite from source it will not function correctly on such filesystems - typically it gives the error "database is locked". A patch is available for version 3.3.6, based on Apple's code, otherwise you're probably best off using the Apple supplied version (presently 3.1.3).

Upgrading SQLite

Upgrading SQLite from 2.x to 3.x

It is not advised anymore to use SQLite 2.x. Support for this version and the corresponding PySqlite 1.0.x bindings will be dropped in Trac version 0.12.If you happen to use that version, you will need to upgrade.

The following information is copied from http://dev.ctor.org/pkcs1/wiki/TracUpgrade

The database formats used by SQLite 2.x and sqlite 3.x are incompatible. If you upgrade your SQLite version (this can also happen implicitly if you upgrade from PySQLite 1.0.x to 1.1.x or 2.x), then you must convert your database.

To do this, install both SQLite 2.8 and SQLite 3.x (they have different filenames so can coexist in the same directory). Then use the following commands (Windows):

 $ mv trac.db trac2.db $ sqlite trac2.db .dump | sqlite3 trac.db

Then when you're happy with the conversion and tested everything you can delete the trac2.db file.

Upgrading SQLite from 3.x.y to 3.x.z

It's almost the same as above. The following shows you how to upgrade from 3.2.8 to 3.3.4:

 $ mv trac.db trac-old.db $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/sqlite-3.2.8/lib /opt/sqlite-3.2.8/bin/sqlite3      trac-old.db .dump |    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/sqlite-3.3.4/lib /opt/sqlite-3.3.4/bin/sqlite3 trac.db

Troubleshooting

From time to time, there are reports about problems related toPysqlite and/or SQLite. This section willl guide you throughunderstanding and fixing those issues, should those problems also happen to you.

Determine actual SQLite and PySqlite version

Troubleshooting is greatly helped by knowing exactly what versions are used for sqlite inside your Python interpreter. Especially on *nix systems, a number of different versions might exist - and the actual versions linked and used might not be what you think.

To test the version of PySqlite what your Python installation uses and the version of SQLite linked, try this inside an interpreter:

>>> import sqlite>>> sqlite.version'1.0.1'>>> sqlite._sqlite.sqlite_version()'2.8.16'

To ensure that this is the exact version Trac uses - you may try this:

>>> import trac.db.sqlite_backend as sql>>> sql.sqlite_version(3, 7, 5)>>> sql.have_pysqlite2>>> sql.sqlite.version'2.6.0'

PySqlite is version 2 (2.6.0), compiled and linked to use version SQLite 3.7.5.

Another way to test the bindings with PySqlite 2 is to use:

>>> from pysqlite2 import dbapi2 as sqlite

This test should not fail.

To install SQLite, your system may require the development headers. Without these you will get various GCC related errors when attempting to build:

$ apt-get install libsqlite3-dev

Check if database is ok

Sometimes vacuum helps to fix inconsistencies in the db. See also pragma, command line, vacuum.

$ sqlite3 trac-parent/mytracinstance/db/trac.dbsqlite> PRAGMA integrity_check;... some errors ...sqlite> VACUUM;sqlite> PRAGMA integrity_check;ok

Common Oops

`OperationalError: unsupported file format`

This probably is symptomatic of a mismatch between the SQLite library and the SQLite database format.

See Trac-ML:7540

And this might be caused by a different version of PHP's pdo_sqlite module when you use Trac in mod_python mode. Check your pdo_sqlite module's version, or if OK, you may simply disable it (see /etc/php.d/pdo_sqlite.ini). (Note that sqlite 3.3.x and 3.2.x does not have compatibility.)

`DatabaseError: file is encrypted or is not a database`

There are typically three situations in which this somewhat cryptic error message can be seen:

when trying to modify the database file and the write permission is missing; fix the permissions
when accessing a SQLite 2.x database file with a SQLite 3.x library; see above for the upgrade instructions.
when accessing a database that has been created in or explicitly converted to WAL mode, using a version of SQLite older than 3.7.0 (i.e. with no WAL support); upgrade your bindings to use a recent SQLite

`OperationalError: SQL logic error or missing database`

This can indicate that the database was corrupted.

A procedure similar to upgrading can be used in order to recoversuch a database:

sqlite3 corrupted.db .dump | sqlite3 recovered.db

(see #2598, for example)

This can also be the symptom of errors due to constraint violations

And this might correspond to an open bug. See #2902 and #2570.

`OperationalError: unable to open database file`

Besides the obvious reason of missing read permissions on the file, it can also happen when the server process has already opened too many files and is unable to open new ones due to O/S limitations. See #8551 for a detailed explanation. You can tell immediately between the two causes depending on the occurrence of the error: if the error is systematic, it's a permission problem, if it's only transient and happening under load, then it's likely the second.

`OperationalError: database is locked`

There are numerous reasons why you can get this.

First, if this only happens occasionally and if the Trac serveris still reachable after a second attempt, then it's not reallya problem. This simply can happen and indicates that someother user was writing to the database at the same time yourrequest triggerd an attempted to write.There are probably a few things that could be enhanced in thefuture to handle this situation, like automatic retry, see #3446.

Also, is this error is somehow inevitable with SQLite, we should make the error message a bit more "user friendly" (#3503).

The lock error is also much more frequent if SQLite is used in a multi-threaded environment (like TracStandalone or TracModPython) but the library was not compiled to be thread-safe. See above, building from source, and #2170.

The real problem with this occurs when all requests to Tracend up with this error. This indicates a permanent lock situation,which is not normal. Here are the known possible reasons for this:

there was a crash related to some other part of the system, like due to the svn bindings, and the SQLite journal file(which is the materialization of the lock), was left behind.Simply removing the journal file will take care of the locksituation. Of course, you'll have to fix the faulty part of system in order to get rid of the crashes (e.g. see #1590).
The Pysqlite version is older than 2.0.5 and/or Trac is pre0.9.Upgrading Trac and Pysqlite will solve the issue (see #2345)

`ProgrammingError: library routine called out of sequence`

This happens on MacOS X, and is still an open issue (see #2969)

`Warning: You can only execute one statement at a time.`

This is typically an error which happens when the pysqlite package you're using is loading at runtime a sqlite3.so library which hasa different version than the one against which pysqlite was built(e.g. see #2993).

`DatabaseError: database is full`

Besides the obvious reason (no space left on the partition wherethe trac db resides), you probably ran out of space in either/tmp or /var/tmp, where SQLite apparently needs to write too.See #2356, #ps20.

`NameError: global name 'sqlite' is not defined`

This error usually comes from an invalid PySqlite installation:
The Python interpreter is not able to import the sqlite module.

...File ".../python2.3/site-packages/trac/db.py", line 321, in init_db    cnx = sqlite.connect(path, timeout=int(params.get('timeout', 10000)))NameError: global name 'sqlite' is not defined...

Check that the sqlite Python module can be load from a Python interpreter
```
python>>> import sqlite
```
Check that the Python intepreter that is run from the web server can find this module.
The default path for this module is <python_lib_dir>/site-packages. If you've installed the module in another directory, make sure the sys.path variable is set up with this directory (more on this in TracCgi, TracModPython, TracFastCgi).

A common mistake is to install PySqlite for one Python interpreter, and run the server with another Python interpreter: both interpreters do not use the same paths to search for modules.

Another possible mistake is the pysqlite2 installer forgot to make "_sqlite.so" dll unreadable by anyone other than root. Fix by chmod 775 _sqlite.so inside $PYTHON_PATH/site-packages/pysqlite2/.

Also make sure you ld.so.cache (ldconfig —print-cache (if using debian)) finds the correct path for installed libraries that Trac depends on. If can't modify, set set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point where sqlite dlls are installed.

`_sqlite.so: Undefined symbol "PyGILState_Ensure"`

If after the import test you encounter this message it most likely means that your Python was not compiled with threads support. On FreeBSD this is easily verified by doing a grep -i threads /var/db/ports/python24/options. If it comes back with a WITHOUT_THREADS=true you need to configure Python to be compiled with threads by executing make config in the appropriate Python ports directory and subsequently recompile and replace Python.

`InterfaceError: Cursor needed to be reset because of commit/rollback and can no longer be fetched from.`

When upgrading trac databases from 0.11.x to 0.12, the trac-admin upgrade script will die with this error due to a bug in PySqlite versions 2.5.2-2.5.4. It is advised to use either a newer or older release to successfully upgrade. See ticket #9434 for full details.

Other issues

`Segmentation Fault`

Some old Python 2.3 versions (like on SuSE 9.0) have a bugrelated to gc and weakrefs, which might be triggered by Trac.

(details)

Segmentation faults can also happen in multi-threaded servers using a SQLite library which has not been configured to be multi-thread safe (see above).
