Can SQLite be used by multiple processes?

SQLite allows multiple processes to have the database file open at once, and for multiple processes to read the database at once. When any process wants to write, it must lock the entire database file for the duration of its update. But that normally only takes a few milliseconds.

Is SQLite multithreaded?

In serialized mode, SQLite can be safely used by multiple threads with no restriction.

Can SQLite handle concurrency?

SQLite does support multiple concurrent connections, and therefore it can be used with a multi-threaded or multi-process application. The catch is that when SQLite opens a write transaction, it will lock all the tables.
