Sqlite Multiwriter

Sqlite Multiwriter is a SQLite database extension that allows concurrent writes across multiple threads and processes without changing SQLite.

Sqlite Multiwriter is a VFS extension for SQLite that removes the single-writer limit. It allows multiple connections, threads, or processes to write to the same database at the same time. Each writer operates on its own private WAL using a snapshot of the database, and commits are checked, ordered, and merged in the background. The database file remains an ordinary SQLite file, and no schema or SQL changes are required. It supports features like optional rebasing to automatically retry and apply non-conflicting row changes, and it is designed for applications running multiple agents or workers on a single database.
