for those who may be interested: I ran a test with SQLite version: 3.5.8
I tried the scheme described earlier with each thread sharing a connection but writing into its own attached in-memory db on that connection. Didn't work. all but the first writer thread failed with a SQLITE_ERROR oh well. I think I will go with CoreData on MacOSX and figure out something else to do on Windows later. my thanks to all who attempted to provide a solution. -James _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
