Your answer below answered it adequately from the SQLite perspective.
But the post "Re: [sqlite] releasing EXCLUSIVE lock after writing dirty pages from the memory cache into the DB ?" [1] presents a strategy expanding beyond the press release and offers a complementary perspective. It addresses the questions of supporting business teams and the infrastructure by collecting information assets from embedded databases. These questions include -> Where are the assets? What is the availability of the assets? How readily and easily can these assets be used? These questions are complementary to the SQLite perspective. After the announcements of Oracle on this list I visited the manufacturer site looking for qualified information on the integration strategy, product and implementation. Information retrieval was difficult and as this is not a priority issue for my projects, I passed on without qualified technical information that would focus my interpretation. I am sure that the info is there, but I left with only an overview and interpretation and limited knowledge of the intents for interfacing and implementation that could provide guidance. Oracle information and the post cited below seem to indicate that the integration goes beyond the API and enhances performance. There are a number of other platforms moving in the direction of providing backend or networking SQLite platforms and most offer strategic information sufficient for preliminary qualification. - Gary Gabriel [1] [sqlite] releasing EXCLUSIVE lock after writing dirty pages from the memory cache into the DB ? 28.4.2010. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.sqlite.general/56055/match=releasing+exclusive+lock+after+writing+dirty+pages+memory+cache+into+db > @Simon: to be honest I don't understand where the roots of the > question are.
