Exactly.

For example, Valentina Server.
Provides true and effective record-level locks of few types.
 
Or Postgre, 
mySQL ($$$)

Bravo Carlos.

This is similar doubt that I try express few months.

    it is not possible to build server using
    very single-user db engine. Engine which its author
    position as single-user. Engine which has MANY algorithms
    built and optimized for single-user access. That algorithms
    in multi-user access must be absolutely other.

If SL engine build its "model of transaction" on db level lock,
Then how you can image few parallel transactions? Impossible.

Once on inet I have meet article where author have write:
    if you'd know how many there was crying when people have try
    to build client/server solutions using MS Access!
    
But MS Access is so much more powerful of SQL Lite...
