Change isolation level in command line shell in sqlite

Question

I would like to change the isolation level in SQLite. Can I do this in the command line shell?

Answer 1

In theory, the isolation level can be changed with PRAGMA read_uncommitted, but this applies only to database connections in shared-cache mode, which are not used by the sqlite3 command-line shell.

For practical purposes, SQLite transactions always are completely serialized (because there is no write concurrency in the first place).
