-So if you are within a transaction and issue a command like ``CREATE TABLE
-...``, ``VACUUM``, ``PRAGMA``, the :mod:`sqlite3` module will commit implicitly
-before executing that command. There are two reasons for doing that. The first
-is that some of these commands don't work within transactions. The other reason
-is that sqlite3 needs to keep track of the transaction state (if a transaction
-is active or not).  The current transaction state is exposed through the
-:attr:`Connection.in_transaction` attribute of the connection object.
-
 You can control which kind of ``BEGIN`` statements sqlite3 implicitly executes
 (or none at all) via the *isolation_level* parameter to the :func:`connect`
 call, or via the :attr:`isolation_level` property of connections.
