Access sqlite from a remote server

SQLite isn’t a network database, so it doesn’t have any network connection ability built into it.

You would need to either:

  • Make the SQLite DB available on a network-accessible shared drive OR
  • Write/find an existing network server/web service for it

A web application is essentially a web service. If you happen to be running a web application on top of this DB, just expose certain levels of DB access to admins-only.

It’s not recommended you do this because multiple threads/clients/etc. accessing a SQLite DB simultaneously may lead to concurrency problems very quickly.
