Hi all, I wonder if someone can guide me how to open for reading the database file of sqlite3 on WindowsXP, while the database is already opened by sqlite3 API.
I have an application that uses sqlite3 API, and open the database file. While the file is opened (for reading) by sqlite3, I would like to copy the database file (so to have a copy of the file). I guess I need to place a shared lock on the file (like sqlite3 does when reading from the file). I wonder what is the recommended way of doing that. I saw that in http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/getfile/sqlite/src/os_win.cthere are some functions that might help me doing that, for example: int sqlite3WinOpenReadOnly(const char *zFilename, OsFile **pId) but those functions are internal to sqlite3 (so they are not exposed in the API). So I am not sure if it is a good idea to use them. I will appreciate any help in this matter, Thanks in advance, Ran
