From reading the documentation I see that sqlite seems to have a very smart locking mechanism going on under the hood, regulating concurrent access by multiple applications. Unfortunately, the designers of another application with which I share a database have decided to cache data internally, so that the only safe access is when that other app is not running.
That's easy enough to detect with API from the OS, but a conflict can still occur if they launch and start reading while I am in the middle of writing something I don't want to stop. I need to lock the database so that they get SQLITE_BUSY until I'm done. How can I manually lock the database using the C API? I can't find any "lock" function.
