SQLite will continue to try to access the file until that amount of time has passed. Then it will give up, returning an error. But SQLite does not start by waiting that amount of time. SQLite starts off by trying to access the file immediately. If that fails and you haven't set a timeout, then it returns an error. If you did set a timeout then SQLite wais a very short time (a millisecond ?) before it tries again, then it waits a little longer, then a little longer still, etc.. It gradually increases the time until the total time reaches the time you set. It does not use the number you used as a guide for the short times is waits. Simon.
