Database is locked in Sqlite

Question

I am developing an iPhone app, when I insert data to the database I got "Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Error while inserting data. 'database is locked''" Error. The code is :

- (NSString *) getDBPath {        
        NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory,NSUserDomainMask,YES);
        NSString *documentsDir = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
        return [documentsDir stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Halal.sqlite"];
}

+ (void) finalizeStatements {

            if (database) sqlite3_close(database);
            if (deleteStmt) sqlite3_finalize(deleteStmt);
            if (addStmt) sqlite3_finalize(addStmt);
            if (detailStmt) sqlite3_finalize(detailStmt);
            if (updateStmt) sqlite3_finalize(updateStmt);
}

- (void) gettingData:(NSString *)dbPath {

            NSLog(@"Data base path is %@",dbPath);
            if (sqlite3_open([dbPath UTF8String], &database) == SQLITE_OK)
            {
                const char *sql = "select * from Product";
                sqlite3_stmt *selectstmt;
                if(sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, sql, -1, &selectstmt, NULL) == SQLITE_OK) 
                {
                    while(sqlite3_step(selectstmt) == SQLITE_ROW)
                    {
        [membersInfoDict setValue:[NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char*)sqlite3_column_text(selectstmt, 0)] forKey:@"ProductName"];
                        [membersInfoDict setValue:[NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(selectstmt, 1)] forKey:@"ProductBarcode"];
                        [membersInfoDict setValue:[NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(selectstmt, 2)] forKey:@"ProductImage"];
                        [membersInfoDict setValue:[NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(selectstmt, 3)] forKey:@"ProductIngredients"];
                        [membersInfoDict setValue:[NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(selectstmt, 4)] forKey:@"ProductStatus"];


                        if(membersInfoDict)
                        {
                           [membersInfoArray addObject:membersInfoDict];
                           membersInfoDict = nil;
                        //  NSLog(@"Entered and return");
                            return;
                        }
                    }
                }            
            }

            else
                sqlite3_close(database); //Even though the open call failed, close the database connection to release all the memory.

}


- (void) addRecord:(NSMutableDictionary *)recordDict
{
            if (sqlite3_close(database))
            {
                NSLog(@"Closed");

                [self gettingData:[documentsDir stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Halal.sqlite"]];                   
            }

            sqlite3_bind_text(addStmt, 2, [[recordDict objectForKey:@"ProductBarcode"] UTF8String], -1, SQLITE_TRANSIENT);
            sqlite3_bind_text(addStmt, 3, [[recordDict objectForKey:@"ProductImage"] UTF8String], -1, SQLITE_TRANSIENT);
            sqlite3_bind_text(addStmt, 4, [[recordDict objectForKey:@"ProductIngredients"] UTF8String], -1, SQLITE_TRANSIENT);
            sqlite3_bind_text(addStmt, 5, [[recordDict objectForKey:@"ProductStatus"] UTF8String], -1, SQLITE_TRANSIENT);


            if(SQLITE_DONE != sqlite3_step(addStmt))
                NSAssert1(0, @"Error while inserting data. '%s'", sqlite3_errmsg(database));
            else
            //SQLite provides a method to get the last primary key inserted by using sqlite3_last_insert_rowid
                rowID = sqlite3_last_insert_rowid(database);
            NSLog(@"last inserted rowId = %d",rowID);

            //Reset the add statement.
            sqlite3_reset(addStmt);
            //sqlite3_commit_hook();
            //sqlite3_commit_hook(addStmt,[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d",rowID],database);

}

Please give me solution for this. Thanks a lot...
