[Qgis-developer] Spatialite database locked after layer removal.

[John Stevenson]

Hi,

I am having trouble renaming a spatialite database that I have been using in QGIS (2.10.1-Pisa).  I have been working in Python, but the problem can be easily recreated through the GUI.


1)      Add spatialite layer from sqlite file

2)      Remove spatialite layer (right click, remove)

3)      Rename or delete the sqlite file

Python gives ‘WindowsError’ in Windows 7, or ‘OSError’ in Xubuntu 14.04.  The Linux terminal gets:
mv: cannot move ‘test.sqlite’ to ‘test2.sqlite’: Text file busy

After a few (1-5?) minutes the lock is removed.

With shape file layers, the lock is removed as soon as the layer is removed.  Is there a reason for the delay with the spatialite file?  Is there a command that I can call to refresh/drop the connection more quickly?

Thanks,
John
