There's no queue. When process B attempts to write, it will be refused, and must try again later itself. It controls if/when it does so; SQLite doesn't force any particular behavior. If process C tries before B tries again, then C will get to write and B will have to wait again. In API terms, an sqlite function will return SQLITE_BUSY if it can't do what it needs to do right now. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
