This statement detaches an additional database connection previously attached using
the <a href="lang_attach.html">ATTACH DATABASE</a> statement. It is possible to have the same database file attached multiple times using different names, and detaching
one connection to a file will leave the others intact.</p>
<p>
This statement will fail if SQLite is in the middle of a transaction.</p>
