Okay, I see what you mean. I don't know how long the write process will wait for the shared lock to be released before returning an error message. If it ever gives up, that is. If it never gives up, a note from the developers on what >> database is locked means would be useful, since if it never gives up there's never any reason to generate that error message. I assume there's a timeout setting somewhere you can change but I see no PRAGMAs about timeout. Googling on 'sqlite database is locked' suggests that other people have discussed this problem.
