ProgrammingError: SQLite objects created in a thread can only be used in that same thread. The object was created in thread id 14408 and this is thread id 2776

🎈 Using Streamlit

Hi @Elijah_Nkuah - A few issues I think:

  1. You’re reusing the cursor across separate database calls.
  2. I’d run execute() on conn, not c. conn.execute() returns a c to fetch results.
  3. Always commit after a logically complete set of update operations to make them atomic.
  4. Create the conn object as a singleton so it survives Streamlit reruns (can use session state or wrap it in st.cache with a custom hash function for sqlite3.Connection).

As a quick fix try:

conn = sqlite3.connect("usersdata.db", check_same_thread=False)

(Warning, your user signup implementation may trip up if two users try to create the same login credentials simultaneously, and your db scheme allows duplicate users. Hashing the password isn’t secure. It needs to be encrypted with a secret key.)

You could use my simple auth solution instead of dealing with all these issues yourself. :slight_smile:

HTH,
Arvindra
