sorry, I don't know if it is allowed to end a transaction from a different connection than the one that obtained the lock. I would not recommend that, sounds a bit unhealthy from the application point of view. I'm pretty sure that a transaction is partly connection related since sqlite will still allow to do inserts/selects on this connection meanwhile other connections are locked. so, doing a COMMIT from a different connection might fail, I guess. ehm.. this commit from the other connection was successful?
