I want to copy a db file while it is still open, and I'm wondering how
safe that is. It would go something like this:

   1. Lock exclusively with PRAGMA locking_mode=EXCLUSIVE; Many process
      are accessing the db afterall
   2. UPDATE a_table SET a_column=0;
   3. After finalizing (I'm using the C API) the queries in 1 and 2, but
      before closing the connection to the db, I would copy the db file.

Is there any danger that the copy would be corrupt? Would the update I
performed be reflected in the new db?
