<excerpt>citeturn0search1 [wordlim: 200] Crawled: 3 months ago; (PHP 5 &gt;= 5.1.0, PHP 7, PHP 8, PECL pdo &gt;= 0.1.0) ... `PDO::ATTR_TIMEOUT` ... For example, SQLite will wait for up to this time value before giving up on obtaining a writable lock, but other drivers may interpret this as a connection or a read timeout interval.
Requires `array(string classname, array(mixed constructor_args))`.

Caution

Cannot be used with persistent PDO instances.

`PDO::ATTR_TIMEOUT`
    

Specifies the timeout duration in seconds. Takes a value of type int.

&gt; Note:
&gt; 
&gt; Not all drivers support this option, and its meaning may differ from driver to driver. For example, SQLite will wait for up to this time value before giving up on obtaining a writable lock, but other drivers may interpret this as a connection or a read timeout interval.

`PDO::ATTR_AUTOCOMMIT`
    

&gt; Note: Only available for the OCI, Firebird, and MySQL drivers.

Whether to autocommit every single statement. Takes a value of type bool: `true` to enable and `false` to disable. By default, `true`.

`PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES`
    

&gt; Note: Only available for the OCI, Firebird, and MySQL drivers.

Whether enable or disable emulation of prepared statements. Some drivers do not support prepared statements natively or have limited support for them. If set to `true` PDO will always emulate prepared statements, otherwise PDO will attempt to use native prepared statements. In case the driver cannot successfully prepare the current query, PDO will always fall back to emulating the prepared statement.

`PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_USE_BUFFERED_QUERY`
    

&gt; Note: Only available for the MySQL driver.

Whether to use buffered queries. Takes a value of type bool: `true` to enable and `false` to disable. By default, `true`.

`PDO::ATTR_DEFAULT_FETCH_MODE`
    

Set the default fetch mode. A description of the modes and how to use them is available in the PDOStatement::fetch() documentation.

(PHP 5 &gt;= 5.3.3, PHP 7, PHP 8)

SQLite3::busyTimeout — Sets the busy connection handler

### Description

public function SQLite3::busyTimeout(int `$milliseconds`): bool

Sets a busy handler that will sleep until the database is not locked or the timeout is reached.

### Parameters

`milliseconds`
    

The milliseconds to sleep. Setting this value to a value less than or equal to zero, will turn off an already set timeout handler.

### Return Values

Returns `true` on success, or `false` on failure.

    `The busyTimeout() method and related API sqlite3_busy_timeout() is a connection level attribute and affects whole connection and should be set once after opening connection.  Do not set to zero or you will encounter &quot;Database is busy&quot; error message when calling query, querySingle, prepare, or execute methods.  Also ensure that sqlite3 library is compiled with HAVE_USLEEP defined, otherwise busyTimeout() can only time out in seconds.  It is very highly recommended to call busyTimeout() with non-zero timeout for reliability in concurrent environment.`

    `For SQLite2 (http://php.net/manual/en/function.sqlite-busy-timeout.php), PHP sets the default busy timeout to be 60 seconds when the database is opened.
    However, this does not happen for v3 and it has to be done manually.
    
    My personal experience is that the default value of SQLite3, which is 0, is not enough when you have to do consecutive read/write commits and the file has not been accessed for long time.`

# The Pdo\Sqlite class

(PHP 8 &gt;= 8.4.0)

## Introduction

A PDO subclass representing a connection using the SQLite PDO driver.

This driver supports a dedicated SQL query parser for the SQLite dialect. It can handle the following:

  * Single, double-quoted, and backtick literals, with doubling as escaping mechanism.

  * Square brackets quoting for identifiers.

  * Two-dashes and C-style comments (non-nested).

# SQLite PDO Driver (PDO_SQLITE)

## Introduction

PDO_SQLITE is a driver that implements the PHP Data Objects (PDO) interface to enable access to SQLite 3 databases.

&gt; Note:
&gt; 
&gt; PDO_SQLITE allows using strings apart from streams together with `PDO::PARAM_LOB`.

## Installation

The PDO_SQLITE PDO driver is enabled by default. To disable, --without-pdo-sqlite[=DIR] may be used, where the optional `[=DIR]` is the sqlite base install directory. As of PHP 7.4.0 » libsqlite ≥ 3.5.0 is required. Formerly, the bundled libsqlite could have been used instead, and was the default, if `[=DIR]` has been omitted.

&gt; Note: Additional setup on Windows as of PHP 7.4.0
&gt; 
&gt; In order for this extension to work, there are DLL (Dynamic Link Library) files that must be available to the Windows system `PATH`. For information on how to do this, see the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) entitled &quot;How do I add my PHP directory to the PATH on Windows&quot;. Although copying DLL files from the PHP folder into the Windows system directory also works (because the system directory is by default in the system&#39;s `PATH`), this is not recommended. </excerpt>

Define precedence for the two busy-timeout options.

A caller can supply both options. PDO::ATTR_TIMEOUT is applied after PRAGMA busy_timeout, so it can replace the configured sqlite_busy_timeout, including disabling the wait when set to 0. The driver API documents neither option as the winner. Define the precedence and apply the winning value last. This is a narrow conflict for callers that set both options.

minimal, and validate.

Review comment at
@packages/mysql-on-sqlite/src/sqlite/class-wp-mysql-on-sqlite.php at line 881:
Define explicit precedence for sqlite_busy_timeout and PDO::ATTR_TIMEOUT, making
sqlite_busy_timeout the winner when both are supplied. Update the busy-timeout
option handling so the winning value is applied last and cannot be replaced by
PDO::ATTR_TIMEOUT.

After applying the fix, consider running `coderabbit review --agent` for local
review. Visit https://docs.coderabbit.ai/cli?utm_source=ghpr
