While closing sqlite3 using sqlite3_close function it returns error code 5 5 - database file is busy. How to fix this issue.

A: 

Answer is in the question, see if you are accessing the db externally.

No i'm not accessing it externally. But I have opened in DB in two different function f1() and f2(). for insertion and when sqlite3_step() is done while doing sqlite3_close() it always returns busy from both f1() and f2()

+2  A: 

The sqlite3_close documenation states it clearly:

Applications must finalize all prepared statements and close all BLOB handles associated with the sqlite3 object prior to attempting to close the object. If sqlite3_close() is called on a database connection that still has outstanding prepared statements or BLOB handles, then it returns SQLITE_BUSY.
