+    <p>This pragma sets or queries the database connection locking-mode. 
+    The locking-mode is either NORMAL or EXCLUSIVE.
+
+    <p>In NORMAL locking-mode (the default), a database connection
+    unlocks the database file at the conclusion of each read or
+    write transaction. When the locking-mode is set to EXCLUSIVE, the
+    database connection never releases file-locks. The first time the
+    database is read in EXCLUSIVE mode, a shared lock is obtained and 
+    held. The first time the database is written, an exclusive lock is
+    obtained and held.
+
+    <p>Database locks obtained by a connection in EXCLUSIVE mode may be
+    released either by closing the database connection, or by setting the
+    locking-mode back to NORMAL using this pragma and then accessing the
+    database file (for read or write). Simply setting the locking-mode to
+    NORMAL is not enough, locks not be released until the next time
+    the database file is accessed.
+
+    <p>There are two reasons to set the locking-mode to EXCLUSIVE. One
+    is if the application actually wants to prevent other processes from
+    accessing the database file. The other is that a small number of
+    filesystem operations are saved by optimizations enabled in this
+    mode. This may be significant in embedded environments.
