That's all you need to do. There is one corner case: If the main application is writing extensively and the secondary reader app does a long-running read transaction, the read transaction can prevent the main application from resetting the WAL file. This can cause the WAL file to grow very large. Everything should still work - it will just use more disk space. The WAL will reset automatically once the read transaction completes. -- D.
