Simon Willison 66934918c6 Document that rejected write PRAGMAs in db.query() still take effect
db.query() promises that a statement rejected with ValueError is rolled
back and has no effect. PRAGMA statements are the exception: some of them
refuse to run inside a transaction, so they execute outside the savepoint
guard - a row-less PRAGMA such as "PRAGMA user_version = 5" therefore
takes effect despite the ValueError. Documenting this as a known
limitation rather than fixing it, since a fix would need a hardcoded list
of row-returning PRAGMAs.
