I have an application where I have 7  threads.  Each thread opens its own db 
connection object, but the connections are to the same db.  I am seeing 
sporadic insert failures when a thread attempts to insert into the db.  
sqlite3_errmsg returns this message:

database is locked

I am using sqlite3 version 3.6.1.  I use the following two pragmas to get the 
best insert performance (the db is used exclusively by this application, and I 
don't need to have the DB recover after an os crash or power fail):

        sqlite3_exec(result->db, "pragma synchronous=off;", 0, 0, &zErrMsg);
        sqlite3_exec(result->db, "pragma locking_mode=exclusive;", 0, 0, 
&zErrMsg);

I am using threading mode "multi-thread".

Does mode=exclusive mean that the first thread that opens and writes to the db 
locks out all other threads?
