Hi All,

I'm writing a Tcl-based application that manages a pool of separate 
SQLite database files.  The application is multi-User, but it requires 
each User to "check out" a specific database in order to access it, so a 
single database is only ever accessed by a single User....

That is, until now... ;^)

I have one specific situation where I need to retrieve a single BLOB 
record from another database in the pool (not the one that's currently 
checked out).  In fact, this other database could be checked out to (and 
be in use by) another individual when I need the record.

So, my question.  Is it safe for me to blindly open the other database 
and grab the record I need?  This would only be a SELECT operation, and 
would never actually write anything to the other database file.

If that's deemed unsafe, could I simply make a temporary copy of the 
other database (literally by copying the db file itself), grab the 
record from there, and remove the copy?

In case it's important, the application will be running on WinXP...

Thanks for any advice.

Jeff
