| 1355193529 | I_kwDOCGYnMM5Qxpy5 | 479 | OperationalError: cannot VACUUM from within a transaction | 7908073 | open | 0 | 0 | 2022-08-30T05:34:24Z | 2022-08-30T05:34:24Z | CONTRIBUTOR | Maybe when calling `.vacuum()` and other DB-level write-lock operations `sqlite_utils` could guard against this error message by automatically committing first? ``` 46 db["media"].optimize() # type: ignore ---> 47 db.vacuum() File ~/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/sqlite_utils/db.py:1047, in Database.vacuum(self) 1045 def vacuum(self): 1046 "Run a SQLite ``VACUUM`` against the database." -> 1047 self.execute("VACUUM;") File ~/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/sqlite_utils/db.py:470, in Database.execute(self, sql, parameters) 468 return self.conn.execute(sql, parameters) 469 else: --> 470 return self.conn.execute(sql) OperationalError: cannot VACUUM from within a transaction ``` It might also be nice to add a sentence or two about how transactions are committed on the [docs page](https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/latest/python-api.html#detect-fts). When I was swapping out my sqlite3 code for this library it was nice that everything was pretty much drop-in but I was/am unsure what to do about the places I explicitly call `.commit()` in my code Related to https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/121 | 140912432 | issue | {"url": "https://api.github.com/repos/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/479/reactions", "total_count": 0, "+1": 0, "-1": 0, "laugh": 0, "hooray": 0, "confused": 0, "heart": 0, "rocket": 0, "eyes": 0} |
