Is it possible to read from a SQLite db while it’s being written to?
I’m aware that access is blocked for writes when it’s being written to, but is that the same for reads?

After some reading around, and looking through the FMDB code, I discovered that I wasn’t using the SQLITE_BUSY and SQLITE_LOCKED return values correctly.
According to the FMDB code, one should loop for a limited number of retries, waiting for a short time bewteen.
So I implemented that in my code, and everything seems to work fine.
