Working with two and more sqlite.db at the same time

[topten]

I have several sqlite databases and I am using this function to load a databse

Func _LoadDatabase($Database_File = -1, $Database_Structure = -1, $Table_Name = -1, $_Automatic_Unload = 1)
    _SQLite_Startup()

    _DefaultAnalyser($Database_File, 'DataBase.db3')
    _DefaultAnalyser($Database_Structure, 'id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,data TEXT,parameters TEXT')
    _DefaultAnalyser($Table_Name, 'Database')
    _DefaultAnalyser($_Automatic_Unload, 1)

    If $_Automatic_Unload Then OnAutoItExitRegister('_UnloadDatabase')
    If Not FileExists($Database_File) Then
        _SQLite_Open($Database_File)
        _SQLite_Exec(-1, "CREATE TABLE " & $Table_Name & " (" & $Database_Structure & ")")
        $_Just_Created = True ;I made This Variable to know that I should Insert The Values or Update Them........
        ;Since we cannot insert the same id twice(will cause error because it is Declared as PRIMARY KEY)
    Else
        _SQLite_Open($Database_File)
    EndIf
    If @error Then Return SetError(1, @error, -1)
    Return 1
EndFunc   ;==>_LoadDatabase

When I load one databse  it works ok, but when I am using the same function to load the second database it becomes unresponsive - is it possible to use several databases simultaneously, something like:

_LoadDatabase (1.db)

_LoadDatabase (2.db)

Read remarks in help file regarding _SQLite_Open.

You can use as many databases as needed, simultaneously, by using the handle returned by _SQLite_Open and passing it as the first argument in _SQLite_* functions.

You can also attach a database to an already open one: see SQL attach. Which way is best suited to your use case depends on the context and which operations you have to perform.

More or less...

_SQLite_Startup()


Global $g_hDataBase1 = _SQLite_Open($Database_File_1)
Global $g_hDataBase2 = _SQLite_Open($Database_File_2)

Func _LoadDatabase($Database_File = -1, $Database_Structure = -1, $Table_Name = -1, $_Automatic_Unload = 1)

    _DefaultAnalyser($Database_File, 'DataBase.db3')
    _DefaultAnalyser($Database_Structure, 'id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,data TEXT,parameters TEXT')
    _DefaultAnalyser($Table_Name, 'Database')
    _DefaultAnalyser($_Automatic_Unload, 1)

    If $_Automatic_Unload Then OnAutoItExitRegister('_UnloadDatabase')
    If Not FileExists($Database_File) Then
        ; do not use -1... use variable's database
        _SQLite_Exec($g_hDataBase1, "CREATE TABLE " & $Table_Name & " (" & $Database_Structure & ")")
        _SQLite_Exec($g_hDataBase2, "CREATE TABLE " & $Table_Name & " (" & $Database_Structure & ")")
        $_Just_Created = True ;I made This Variable to know that I should Insert The Values or Update Them........
        ;Since we cannot insert the same id twice(will cause error because it is Declared as PRIMARY KEY)
    Else
        _SQLite_Open($Database_File)
    EndIf
    If @error Then Return SetError(1, @error, -1)
    Return 1
EndFunc   ;==>_LoadDatabase


Func on_exit()
    _SQLite_Close($g_hDataBase1)
    _SQLite_Close($g_hDataBase2)
EndFunc

Thank you everyone for your great advise, Sending special thanx to Luigi (it is great that you've made an example in the context of the function I use)
