Description

Right now, the _txlock connection parameter determines which BEGIN statement is used to start a transaction. I'd like to be able to pick this at a per-transaction level. I don't think there's a way of exposing this functionality to database/sql, but it would be good to add an option there eventually. I'm imagining adding:

func (c *SQLiteConn) BeginWithType(t TransactionType) (driver.Tx, error)

type TransactionType int

const (
  Deferred TransactionType = iota
  Immediate
  Exclusive
)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement a `BeginWithType` method on `SQLiteConn` that accepts a `TransactionType` enum and issues the corresponding SQLite BEGIN statement (DEFERRED, IMMEDIATE, EXCLUSIVE). Ensure the new method is compatible with the existing `database/sql` interface and add appropriate tests.
