I believe that page, and the one it points to http://sqlite.org/c3ref/busy_handler.html fill in the missing details. Thank you. Now all we need to know is whether the OP's reported error 'database is locked' from his API is equivalent to one of the SQLite errors SQLITE_BUSY or SQLITE_IOERR_BLOCKED. And the answer to that is not part of SQLite.
