Many thanks for your detailed reply.
I tried BEGIN IMMEDIATE, but all that happens is that I get occasional "database is busy" errors on that statement rather than my original INSERT. The busy handler just doesn't seem to get invoked. I just want to submit a query and have sqlite keep trying until my timeout has expired.
Of course I could implement this in the application code, but I'd rather understand why sqlite isn't able to do this first. The sqlite source is unfamiliar territory, but I'll have a poke around and try to trace how the busy callback is used.
