That's very helpful, thank you very much, Daniel. Also to Jens.
I've re-read the SQLite documentation for shared cache now. I guess I had enabled it in the past to increase the performance (many threads in my application). Apparently, this had the opposite effect :-/ After disabling the shared cache mode, the locks no longer happen. As I had initially anticipated, the update and the read now run happily in parallel. Thanks again. On a weekend, even! _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
