in reply to Simultaneous access to the tk script

SQLite may support limited concurrent access, but it is intended to be embedded. Better switch to a "real" database like PostgreSQL that really supports concurrent access. If you use DBI, it's not much more than changing the arguments of DBI->connect(). And of course, installing PostgreSQL or find another existing database server (almost everyone is supported by DBI) where you can an account.

    Hi,

    thank you very much for your reply. I thought about using "real" database. However the security standard here makes it highly unlikely that I would be allowed to start another server such as PostgreSQL. The main big software in the company uses MS SQL Server, it is already there, however it is equally unlikely that they let me create a new database and in any case it would not be a writing access.
