For more information about SQLite:

If your database object goes out of scope, the database is closed. This means you are typically going to want your database object be somewhat global to your app. A common technique is to have an iOSSQLiteDatabase property on the App object that you refer throughout your app as App.DB.

Transactions

iOSSQLiteDatabase does an auto-commit after each SQL command if you do not manually start a transaction. You can start a transaction using this command:

myDB.SQLExecute("BEGIN TRANSACTION")

When the transaction is complete, you commit your changes with this command:

myDB.SQLExecute("COMMIT")

You can cancel a transaction by calling rollback with this command:

myDB.SQLExecute("ROLLBACK")
