Create a new database file, then issue the PRAGMA before any CREATE commands.

This feature would indeed be suitable for a server-client database engine designed to run on multipurpose computers. But SQLite is designed more in embedded machines in a single-processor environment. For example, my TV recorder uses it to list the TV channels and meta-data about its recordings, and I have an extremely low-power GPS device which uses it for Positions of Interest. The fact that SQLite turns out to be so useful as an embedded DBMS inside, for example, a web browser is just a bonus. As the documentation says, if you need network-savvy client-server stuff, look elsewhere.
