So, the database will only be accessed by exactly one application, on
exactly the same machine and storage as the application? If so, you
don't need concurrency.

Otherwise, your database needs concurrency; and the person installing
the database will need to make a lot of decisions about the specific
network environment and devices to be allowed to access the database.

But is this what you mean by your requirements not being met by SQLite?
