Basic Questions about SQL usage with multiple users
For a science project we need to use a database with multiple users in different places. At the moment we use SQLite for testing. But as we are pretty new to the whole Database world there are some question and concerns about what and how we need to use SQLite.
- I read about that it is okay to use SQLite with multiple users. I also read that WAL mode would be great if we have a lot of read processes – what we do have. Is that right?
- In the final stages every user has to gain access via the internet to our Databases. What is the best way to provide that? Is SQLite able to do that? Or do we Need tu use SQL Server or anything like that?
- If multiple users use a DB, there could be the case that two users want to write at the same moment, but then the DB is locked from one user for a few milliseconds. We are working with Python at the moment, is there a good way to check if a DB is locked and try it again after a few milliseconds? Or is there another, better way to prevent a user trying to access a locked DB?
I hope it is okay to keep my questions a little bit wide. If I have to change anything in my question or additional information is needed, please let me know! Thank you.

every user has to gain access via the internet to our Databases. Extremely bad. Be ready to loose your data. Think about some server-side application (with proper authentication) for accessing to your DB, web-interface, for example.
