SQLITE_ERROR

SQLITE_ERROR errors are coming from SQLite itself, so those are probably not fixable by retries. Retries improve issues like networking hiccups, or servers going down, or other transient things.
Retries don't fix broken queries. If you have specific SQLITE_ERRORs you get, then we can see what they mean.

Have you checked the https://github.com/cloudflare/actors library? If you need to be able to create as many DBs as you want, then this gets you quite far with little code. You don't need to write a lot of code.

You lose the import/export/wrangler/D1 UI tooling, though.

gruntlord6•9/17/25, 4:43 PM

theres still a lot of edge cases you have with durable objects, the tooling being one of them. I can make tooling per project but D1 has much more along the lines of batteries included tools. Being able to dynamically bind solves a lot more issues

lambrospetrouOP•9/17/25, 4:50 PM

Yeah the batteries included things are what gradually I would like us (personal opinion) to also make available for DOs, and then the choice is simpler. If D1 got dynamic bindings then it would be 90% identical to DOs, and duplicated effort from all fronts. But, yeah, everything you say is a common internal debate we are having.

YYS•9/18/25, 1:53 PM

I'm using D1 for an app that has 5 tables, 4 of them have a foreign key reference to table1. Now I'd like to delete a few columns in table1, but since D1 does not support ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN, the only way to accomplish that is to create a new table, copy the data and then replace the original table. However, since the table is referenced by foreign key and D1 does not support PRAGMA foreign_keys=OFF it fails to delete and recreate it. Can you please advise what is the path forward for this scenario?

Do you get this through the REST API or through the Worker API?
The error Failed to parse body as JSONFailed to parse body as JSON is thrown when the request body is not a valid JSON, before even validating the actual contents.

The thing is it's the same code that is running but once it happens it happens. For some context I'm running locally but a lot of the services including D1 are remote. I don't know if hot reloading is playing anything or not.

lambrospetrouOP•9/19/25, 11:10 PM

Are you getting the error when running locally, or when the worker is running in production? It's unlikely that the D1 binding has this issue, unless some network problem did not transmit the complete request, but you should be failing anyway in that case.

cloudkite•9/22/25, 2:07 AM

Based on that error looks like you are using drizzle? if so drizzle wraps sql execution errors with their own error. So youll need check the error type with instanceof and then do console.error(error.cause) see https://github.com/drizzle-team/drizzle-orm/blob/37d059f95ebe4ca7da6e60415de0164c729a8454/drizzle-orm/src/errors.ts#L13

This is caused by my D1 backup process. Recently, the data record in this table has reached 10,000 entries, and this problem has begun to occur.

The currently backed-up data file is 2.61 MB; is there a way to perform the backup without blocking (database operations)?

lambrospetrouOP•9/22/25, 7:40 AM

At the moment, imports and exports are blocking the D1 database unfortunately. There isn't a way to opt-out until we refactor that process.

In some occasions, exports seem to be failing for prolonged time. If that's the case for your DB, please DM me and I can restart the DB to stop the export process.

We actually identified a single server/metal having network issues and moved all the DBs out from it. So, our metrics show that all of these errors disappeared now. Please let me know if not.

dandoen•9/23/25, 1:24 PM

@lambrospetrou any rough estimate on when you guys will get to improving the export process & make that non blocking? seems like this is one of the biggest pain point lots of ppl are raising. believe someone mentioned q3/q4.

`SQLITE_ERROR` errors are coming from SQLite itself, so those are probably not fixable by retries. R
