19 # The tests in this file test the sqlite3_blocking_step() function in
20 # test_thread.c. sqlite3_blocking_step() is not an SQLite API function,
21 # it is just a demonstration of how the sqlite3_unlock_notify() function
22 # can be used to synchronize multi-threaded access to SQLite databases
23 # in shared-cache mode.
25 # Since the implementation of sqlite3_blocking_step() is included on the
26 # website as example code, it is important to test that it works.
30 # This test uses $nThread threads. Each thread opens the main database
31 # and attaches two other databases. Each database contains a single table.
33 # Each thread repeats transactions over and over for 20 seconds. Each
34 # transaction consists of 3 operations. Each operation is either a read
35 # or a write of one of the tables. The read operations verify an invariant
36 # to make sure that things are working as expected. If an SQLITE_LOCKED
37 # error is returned the current transaction is rolled back immediately.
39 # This exercise is repeated twice, once using sqlite3_step(), and the
40 # other using sqlite3_blocking_step(). The results are compared to ensure
41 # that sqlite3_blocking_step() resulted in higher transaction throughput.
