As Max described, it might be a potential issue.
The safest way is when the user sets :db ":memory:"
org-babel-default-header-args:sqlite explicitly. We should not throw a
warning if :db ":memory:" is set by the user.

Effectively, ob-sqlite starts a new SQLite shell for every src blocks
(sessions are not supported).
