Yep, these dot commands only mean anything to the sqlite3 command line program, not SQlite itslef. I thought of executing a script to issue the .time but honestly, the LC loop is 6 lines of code so it's not a big deal to keep it in LC.

STill got to get around to doing my tests over a network though.

NVM I tried it. I guess it's only a shell command. Still, you might wanna try shelling into the database before opening it and executing this command. Check out this link:

Have you tried this?

.timeout MS            Try opening locked tables for MS milliseconds

Set that to 2000 for a 2 second "retry" on the cheap maybe?

Good idea, but it got thrown back with an error. It's not a valid SQL statement, just something the tcl/c api understands I think. Not a big deal though, it's pretty easy to set that timeout loop in within LC.

Did you try to issue this as a query, with and without substituting db1 with your database name?

db1 timeout 2000
The argument to the timeout method is the maximum number of milliseconds to wait for the lock to clear. So in the example above, the maximum delay would be 2 seconds.
