Will SQLite work OK for a multi-user read-only application where the database resides on a Windows network drive?

A: 

Most of the SQLite work is done in memory. If you have enough memory available SQLite won't do much I/O other than read the database once.

That's per-process/connection though. If you're opening the application a lot or recycling new connections frequently that could cause issues with network transfer.
Joel Coehoorn
Doubt that the SQLite transfers would compare with SQL/Server or Oracle connections.

+1  A: 

I think that, if you are only reading, then yes. According to SQLite FAQ writing might be a problem.
