The first question is why database locking has been enabled on a per thread basis instead of per process so that the normal methods of thread synchronisation (mutexes, ciritcal sections) could not be used for maintaining consistency within the application. The programmer can easily ensure that no two statements are executed at the same time just as they would ensure that no more than one operation on a linked list was performed at the same time.
Having watched a lot of people attempt to write thread safe code I would say this is an incorrect assumption. I think it only appears simple at a casual glance. -- The PixAddixImage Collector suite: http://groups-beta.google.com/group/pixaddix SqliteImporter and SqliteReplicator: Command line utilities for Sqlite http://www.reddawn.net/~jsprenkl/Sqlite Cthulhu Bucks! http://www.cthulhubucks.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
