Ideally, it is on the same machine, with the same user.
Again, the DB file is read only, and due to the nature of the data, it isn't

I still need to do better planning.

Yes. If you use the SQLite store, it automatically uses filesystem locking.
Indeed, that is how CalendarStore and AddressBook operate under the hood these
days I believe.
The major caveat is that the locking doesn't work if the file is accessed from
two different filesystems. i.e. a local file
