Most execution environments that support calling including C and Sqlite use a stack of frames. Looking at the Sqlite code, VDBE maintains a stack of frames. I am suggesting that these frames are assigned an id that is unique for that parallel execution. Since I do not know the rules, present or planned, for parallelism in Sqlite I cannot clearly define what those ids are. If each parallel path, i.e. database open from programs, is assigned a unique id then the combination of that id and the call depth would be sufficient for my purposes.
