Python SQLite - How to manually BEGIN and END transactions?

Question

Context

So I am trying to figure out how to properly override the auto-transaction when using SQLite in Python. When I try and run

c         


        

Answer 1

As @CL. said you have to set isolation level to None. Code example:

s = sqlite3.connect("./data.db")
s.isolation_level = None

try:
    c = s.cursor()
    c.execute("begin")
    ...
    c.execute("commit")
except:
    c.execute("rollback")

Answer 2

The documentaton says:

You can control which kind of BEGIN statements sqlite3 implicitly executes (or none at all) via the isolation_level parameter to the connect() call, or via the isolation_level property of connections.

If you want autocommit mode, then set isolation_level to None.
