May be the engine itself is multiuser, but it´s non sense to think it as a multiuser, since it has been thought to have it in portable applications, having been put in pendrives and small equipments that will not share it´s data directly. If this data must to be sincronized with another DB server, it´s adequate that the sincronization will be done by the portable application itself. Or it must capable of export it´s data and import data files like csv type (or binary files, a.s.o.). If an application using embedded DB will capture data for a bigger DB system, better to think and plan it to be only data collector, yet if it and the O.S. are capable of multi-processes and tasks. So I think.
