+ <question>Can Jackcess open an Access database read-only while it is
+ being edited by another application?</question>
+ <answer>
+ <p>
+ Using Jackcess read-only on the db would not corrupt the db file
+ itself. That said, you risk that jackcess will throw spurious
+ exceptions or find invalid or "corrupt" data while attempting to
+ read the database because the database file may not be internally
+ consistent at all times. So, at the very least, you will need to
+ expect reads to occasionally fail. Depending on what "reliability"
+ you require of the data, you might also need to handle reading data
+ which is not 100% correct.
