Error SQLite objects created in a thread can only be used in that same thread. - binhduonggttn - Jan-31-2020

My script used to migrate data from SQLite to Postgres in Python. I'm using threading module to speed up transfer tables but I got a error
Error:
sqlite3.ProgrammingError: SQLite objects created in a thread can only be used in that same thread
.
Can someone help me edit it? Thanks
My script :
import psycopg2, sqlite3, sys
import time
import threading

sqdb="C://Users//duongnb//Desktop//Python//SqliteToPostgreFull//testmydb6.db"
sqlike="table"
pgdb="testmydb13"

pghost="127.0.0.1"
pgport="5432"

consq=sqlite3.connect(sqdb)
cursq=consq.cursor()


tabnames=[]
cursq.execute('''SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE type="table" AND name LIKE "'''+sqlike+'''%";''')
tabgrab = cursq.fetchall()
for item in tabgrab:
    tabnames.append(item[0])
print(tabgrab)

def copyTable(table):
    cursq.execute("SELECT sql FROM sqlite_master WHERE type='table' AND name = ?;", (table,))
    create = cursq.fetchone()[0]
    cursq.execute("SELECT * FROM %s;" %table)
    rows=cursq.fetchall()
    colcount=len(rows[0])
    pholder='%s,'*colcount
    newholder=pholder[:-1]

    try:

        conpg = psycopg2.connect(database=pgdb, user=pguser, password=pgpswd,
                               host=pghost, port=pgport)
        curpg = conpg.cursor()
        curpg.execute("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS %s;" %table)
        create = create.replace("AUTOINCREMENT", "")
        curpg.execute(create)
        curpg.executemany("INSERT INTO %s VALUES (%s);" % (table, newholder),rows)
        conpg.commit()

        if conpg:
            conpg.close()

    except psycopg2.DatabaseError as e:
        print ('Error %s' % e) 
        sys.exit(1)

    finally:
        print("Complete")

consq.close()

    for table in tabnames:

RE: Error SQLite objects created in a thread can only be used in that same thread. - ibreeden - Jan-31-2020

I am not very sure as I am not aquainted to SQLite and Postgres, but what strikes me is this: in line 13 and 14 you open a connection and a cursor:
consq=sqlite3.connect(sqdb)
cursq=consq.cursor()
Then you obtain the tablenames and you define a function. In line 54 you close the connection to the database:
consq.close()
And then the program starts, calling the function. But the connection does not exist anymore. As the function is designed to run in a separate thread I believe the function should open it's own connection and cursor. (And close them at the end of the function.)


RE: Error SQLite objects created in a thread can only be used in that same thread. - binhduonggttn - Jan-31-2020

@ibreeden You're right. I've removed it but it's still running fail. I asked Stackoverflow, they said I have two threads, the first is the
"__main__"
thread, the second is
.Thread(target = copyTable, args = (table,))
. How can I do ?


RE: Error SQLite objects created in a thread can only be used in that same thread. - DeaD_EyE - Jan-31-2020

You're writing from a different thread, as the connection was created in.
You can use the consumer pattern or ignore that it's threaded:
consq = sqlite3.connect(sqdb, check_same_thread=False)
StackOverflow. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/393554/python-sqlite3-and-concurrency

Before you use it, check if it's corrupting your data.
