SQLite is a popular, lightweight, and serverless database engine used in various applications. However, when working with SQLite on a Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2) in Windows 11, you may encounter issues related to file locking. In this article, we will explore the problem, its possible cause, and a solution to resolve it.
Problems
