I've been starting work on something similar... I'm opening the file manually, invoking the Win32 LockFileEx() function to get myself a shared "reader" lock on the entire file, then copying..
I guess it'll do, at least until SQLite chooses a different way to implement locking. On 05/04/07, Clark Christensen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
