Here's my situation. I'm planning on developing an application using the embedded library so my client doesn't have to worry about managing the database server. The problem is that it's a multiple user, multiple machine application. So they all need to access the same data.

If it's multiple machine, you can't use the embedded server. It doesn't support outside connections.

I don't need external connections. I want to run two independent servers (embedded in this case) on the same data that is stored on a network share. I know this is a bad idea under Linux. I'm wondering if the external locking on Windows is reliable enough to do it? It would really simplify my client's life it is.
