• OPEN_CREATE
  • If the database does not exists, it is created. Otherwise, it is opened with read+write privileges.
• OPEN_READWRITE
  • Open the database with read+write privileges.
• OPEN_READONLY
  • Open the database in a read-only mode.
• OPEN_MMAP
  • Obtain a read-only memory view of the whole database.
• OPEN_EXCLUSIVE
  • Creates a new file, only if it does not already exist. If the file exists, it fails.
• OPEN_TEMP
  • A private, temporary on-disk database will be created. This private database will be automatically deleted as soon as the database connection is closed.
• OPEN_IN_MEMORY
  • A private, in-memory database will be created. The in-memory database will vanish when the database connection is closed.
• OPEN_OMIT_JOURNALING
  • (Not recommended) Disable journaling for this database. In other words, you will not be able to rollback your database after a crash or power failure. This flag is automatically set for temporary database.
• OPEN_NOMUTEX
