    <p>^(The cache_spill pragme enables or disables the ability of the pager
    to spill dirty cache pages to the database file in the middle of a 
    transaction.)^  ^(Cache_spill is enabled by default)^ and most applications
    should leave it that way as cache spilling is unusally advantageous.
    However, a cache spill has the side-effect of acquiring an
    [EXCLUSIVE lock] on the database file.  Hence, some applications that
    have large long-running transactions may want to disable cache spilling
    in order to prevent the application from acquiring an exclusive lock
    on the database until the moment that the transaction [COMMIT]s.

    return no data. When count-changes is set, each of these commands

    <p>Another way to get the row change counts is to use the

    There is a subtle different, though.  When an INSERT, UPDATE, or
    DELETE is run against a view using an [INSTEAD OF trigger],
    the count_changes pragma reports the number of rows in the view
