In response to your question - by "always continues to fail" I mean that yes, after delaying and retrying, even when the file should be accessible, I still get SQLITE_IOERR returned from sqlite3_open_v2. If my application exits and restarts, it will try to call sqlite3_open_v2 again on the same file and this time it will succeed, which is why I said the file *should* be accessible.
Does that make sense and should that be the application's problem, or sqlite's? thanks, Serena.
