What is an SQLITEDB-SHM file?

SQLITEDB-SHM files mostly belong to SQLite. SQLITEDB-SHM files are SQLite shared memory files created automatically by SQLite when operating in Write-Ahead Logging (WAL) mode.
The file holds temporary data for coordinating access between multiple processes. It works alongside the main database file and the WAL file to manage locking and cache information.
Usage details include:
  • Managing multi-process read and write operations.
  • Storing transient locking and synchronization data.
  • Being automatically generated and removed by SQLite.
  • Not intended for manual editing or direct viewing.

The *.SQLITEDB-SHM file itself doesn't contain the actual database data but rather shared memory data structures used for managing access to the main database file (*.SQLITEDB). It is essential for proper concurrent access to the database and is managed automatically by SQLite. This file format is classified as Database.
