This is probably something you'll have to experiment with yourself. I
know pretty well nothing about sqlite. The patch was contributed, though
I modified it quite extensively to make it more general. The code does
not appear to take any specific locking action; my assumption was that
this is all handled internally in the library. The web page states,
as one of the features of sqlite:

Transactions are atomic, consistent, isolated, and durable (ACID) even
after system crashes and power failures.

which sounds like the right sort of thing...
