+3  Q: 

SQLite synchronization when accessed by applications on different machines

I'm wondering how SQLite implements it. Is it based on file-locking? Surely the entire DB isn't locked for every user that accesses it; that would be extremely inefficient. Is it based on multiple files or just one big file?

Would be nice if someone could give a short overview of how synchronization and locking is done in sqlite, or, of course, provide a link to one.

+5  A: 

Have a look at the SQL Lite FAQ and this on locking. Hope this helps.

Thanks, it does. Had no idea only one writer is supported in sqlite.
