Thanks, insightful, I have reviewed links. But none tells me that it
is truly network based database. Of course one may replicate files
through network and send data, that is not what is meant with network
database. One can make layers on top of it, but that does not make it
multi user or suitable for collaboration.

| Many concurrent writers? → choose client/server
| 
| If many threads and/or processes need to write the database at the
| same instant (and they cannot queue up and take turns) then it is best
| to select a database engine that supports that capability, which
| always means a client/server database engine.
| 
| SQLite only supports one writer at a time per database file. But in
| most cases, a write transaction only takes milliseconds and so
| multiple writers can simply take turns. SQLite will handle more write
| concurrency than many people suspect. Nevertheless, client/server
| database systems, because they have a long-running server process at
| hand to coordinate access, can usually handle far more write
| concurrency than SQLite ever will.
