It's also nice to be able to hack on the code :)

You are right, you cannot open a dbc exclusively in a multiuser environment. That's why I keep the dbc's that I use for my views separate from my data. I don't put them in a shared directory. To say it another way, I treat them like code, not data. At least, that's worked well for me.
