   </p>

    <p>^If the [write-ahead log] is enabled (via the [journal_mode pragma]),
    this pragma causes a [checkpoint] operation to run on database
    <i>database</i>, or on all attached databases if <i>database</i>
    is omitted.  ^If [write-ahead log] mode is disabled, this pragma is a
    harmless no-op.</p>

    <p>^Invoking this pragma is equivalent to calling the
    [sqlite3_wal_checkpoint_v2()] C interface with a 
    [SQLITE_CHECKPOINT_PASSIVE | 3rd parameter]
    corresponding to the argument of the PRAGMA.  ^Invoking this
    pragma without an argument is equivalent to calling the
    [sqlite3_wal_checkpoint()] C interface.</p>

    <p>^The wal_checkpoint pragma returns a single row with three
    integer columns.  ^The first column is usually 0 but will be
    1 if a RESTART or FULL checkpoint was blocked from completing,
    for example because another thread or process was actively
    using the database.  ^In other words, the first column is 0 if the
    equivalent call to [sqlite3_wal_checkpoint_v2()] would have returned
    [SQLITE_OK] or 1 if the equivalent call would have returned [SQLITE_BUSY].
    ^The second column is the number of modified pages that have been
    written to the write-ahead log file.
    ^The third column is the number of pages in the write-ahead log file
    that have been successfully moved back into the database file at
    the conclusion of the checkpoint.
   ^The second and third column are -1 if there is no
    write-ahead log, for example if this pragma is invoked on a database
    connection that is not in [WAL mode].</p>
