Explicitly note that transactions are only closed if there is an open
transation at `__exit__`, and that transactions are not implicitly
opened during `__enter__`.

.. _sqlite3-connection-context-manager:

Using the connection as a context manager
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Connection objects can be used as context managers
that automatically commit or rollback transactions. In the event of an
exception, the transaction is rolled back; otherwise, the transaction is
committed:
A :class:`Connection` object can be used as a context manager that
automatically commits or rolls back open transactions when leaving the body of
the context manager.
If the body of the :keyword:`with` statement finishes without exceptions,
the transaction is committed.
If this commit fails,
or if the body of the ``with`` statement raises an uncaught exception,
the transaction is rolled back.

If there is no open transaction upon leaving the body of the ``with`` statement,
the context manager is a no-op.

.. note::

The context manager neither implicitly opens a new transaction
nor closes the connection.
