would not be atomic across all databases.  In other words, if the
commit were interrupted in the middle by a crash or power loss, then
the changes to one of the databases might complete while the changes
to another database might roll back.  The master journal causes all
changes in all databases to either rollback or commit together.
</p>

</p>
<p>
The master journal file is only created for [COMMIT] operations that
involve multiple database files where at least two of the databases 
meet all of the following requirements:

<ol>
<li>The database is modified by the transaction
<li>The [PRAGMA synchronous] setting is not OFF
<li>The [PRAGMA journal_mode] is not OFF, MEMORY, or WAL
</ol>

<p>
This means that SQLite transactions are not atomic
across multiple database files on a power-loss when the database 
files have synchronous turned off or when they are using journal 
modes of OFF, MEMORY, or WAL.  For synchronous OFF and for
journal_modes OFF and MEMORY, database will usually corrupt if
a transaction commit is interrupted by a power loss.  For 
[WAL mode], individual database files are updated atomically
