Is there a way to exclusively *open* a SQlite database, so that (a) open fails if there is another connection to the database and (b) no other connections can be opened?
I figured out already that I can get almost that by opening the database, setting PRAGMA locking_mode=exclusive; and doing a dummy-write to the DB. However, this allows other clients to open / have open the file, and for them it seems not possible to tell whether requests are rejected because of thsi exclusive access or just because the database is currently busy. Purpose: I want the option for one user to open the DB exclusively, and reject all other connections immediately with "Someone else has opened this file exclusively", preferably without having to write to the file (or to the directory it's in) TIA ph _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
