[bitbake-devel] [PATCH] prserv: Use WAL mode

[Richard Purdie]

Ideally, we want the PR service to have minimal influence from 
queued disk IO. sqlite tends to be paranoid about data loss and 
locks/fsync calls. There is a "WAL mode" which changes the journalling
mechanism and would appear much better suited to our use case.

This patch therefore switches the database to what WAL mode. With this
change, write overhead appears significantly reduced.
