Here are various scenarios of SQLite error database is locked:

• When you use a table to write and on which the SELECT operations are previously active.
• The database gets locked in a situation when you try to DROP or CREATE an index or table while the SELECT statement is still in a pending state. The main reason behind it is the misconception of the users that if the Sqlite3_() returns the SQLITE_DONE value, the SELECT statement is finished. However, there is a different scenario because the SELECT statement is not considered to be completed until Sqlite3_reset() or Sqlite3_finalize() are called.
• When you try to  SELECT operations on the same table at the same time in an application having multiple threads and SQLite is not allowed for the same.

To solve this issue, you can try:

1. By creating backup having no locks
2. Rewirte the code
3. Increase default timeout
