No, I don't think the tables will be compatible.

I think ADIF import and export would likely be the only reliable way  
to do this. MacLoggerDX allows you to export only the records you have  
selected and there are a number of ways besides chronological to sort  
the log for selection and export.

There is no specific prevision for record locking so I would not  
recommend that multiple users share the same sql log file.
