Hi all,

I have written a program that opens a SQLIte3 database and writes in it most 
of the time via replace/update.

If I do select like (no writes, really only reads) statements from some 
other process that carefully opens the database with "sqlite3_open_v2(..., 
SQLITE_OPEN_READONLY, ...)" the main (writing) application might get 
errcode=5 ermmsg='database is locked' errors when it tries to write while 
the other application (only!) reads.

How is that possible? How to prevent?

I would expect that the reading application might (of course) sometimes get 
"database is locked" errors, but the writing application should never.

[ I have also realized that the sqlite3 commandline tool uses sqlite_open() 
and always opens in read/write mode. That's why I wrote my own reading 
application using sqlite3_open_v2 ]

Thanks

Tino
