I'm currently running my Firefox and TB against the sqlite3 database. The main impediment to general deployment is Bug 391296.Joe Orton wrote, On 2008-02-07 00:46:Hi. When using the libsoftokn3.so PKCS#11 provider, is it safe to open a read-only session to a database which is opened read-write by another process (e.g. Firefox)? (By "safe", I mean simply that the provider will not crash and burn if Firefox modifies something underneath it)No, the Berkeley database used in all versions of NSS up through NSS 3.11.x and in all versions of FireFox before FireFox 3, is not safe to be used in that manner. With NSS 3.12, which will be used in FireFox 3, it will be possible to configure an application to use a different database, namely sqlite3. It will be safe to share a common database among multiple applications, including read-write applications, with sqlite3. However, as I understand it, FF3 will not use sqlite3 by default. It can be configured, but I'm not sure how.
New NSS applications would not have to worry about the issues in Bug 391296. bob
