"The SQLITE_OPEN_EXCLUSIVE flag is always used in conjunction with the SQLITE_OPEN_CREATE flag, which are both directly analogous to the O_EXCL and O_CREAT flags of the POSIX open() API. The SQLITE_OPEN_EXCLUSIVE flag, when paired with the SQLITE_OPEN_CREATE, is used to indicate that file should always be created, and that it is an error if it already exists. It is not used to indicate the file should be opened for exclusive access." I think that is pretty explicit. Regards, Simon

You can tell it to do the opposite (only open an existing file, return an error if no file exists) but not the way you asked about. You will have to use file operations to find out whether the file already exists. Simon.

That approach isn't race-safe, though. Why does SQLite not allow open via O_EXCL? -FG Sent from my android device. -Original Message- From: Simon Slavin <slav...@bigfraud.org> To: General Discussion of SQLite Database Sent: Sun, 15 Mar 2015 7:44 AM Subject: Re: [sqlite] SQLITE_OPEN_EXCLUSIVE On 15 Mar 2015, at 6:06am, Felipe Gasper wrote: > is this how I can say, ?open a database, but only if it?s a new database??

Hi all, Does the SQLITE_OPEN_EXCLUSIVE flag exist as analogous to O_EXCL in C open()? i.e., is this how I can say, ?open a database, but only if it?s a new database?? Thank you! -Felipe Gasper Houston, TX
