It is not safe to read or modify this variable +if a <a href="../c3ref/sqlite3.html">database connection</a> is being used at the same time in a separate +thread. +It is intended that this variable be set once +as part of process initialization and before any SQLite interface +routines have been called and that this variable remain unchanged +thereafter.</p> + +<p>The <a href="../pragma.html#pragma_temp_store_directory">temp_store_directory pragma</a> may modify this variable and cause +it to point to memory obtained from <a href="../c3ref/free.html">sqlite3_malloc</a>.
