language features that allow ordinary SQL to deliberately corrupt the database file are disabled.

The defensive flag can also be set using `enableDefensive()`.

**Default:** `true`.

* `limits` {Object} Configuration for various SQLite limits. These limits

can be used to prevent excessive resource consumption when handling

potentially malicious input. See [Run-Time Limits][] and [Limit Constants][]

in the SQLite documentation for details. Default values are determined by

SQLite's compile-time defaults and may vary depending on how SQLite was

built. The following properties are supported:

* `length` {number} Maximum length of a string or BLOB.

* `sqlLength` {number} Maximum length of an SQL statement.

* `column` {number} Maximum number of columns.

* `exprDepth` {number} Maximum depth of an expression tree.

* `compoundSelect` {number} Maximum number of terms in a compound SELECT.

* `vdbeOp` {number} Maximum number of VDBE instructions.

* `functionArg` {number} Maximum number of function arguments.

* `attach` {number} Maximum number of attached databases.

* `likePatternLength` {number} Maximum length of a LIKE pattern.

* `variableNumber` {number} Maximum number of SQL variables.

* `triggerDepth` {number} Maximum trigger recursion depth.

Constructs a new `DatabaseSync` instance.

* Type: {boolean} Whether the database is currently within a transaction. This method

is a wrapper around [`sqlite3_get_autocommit()`][].

* Type: {Object}

An object for getting and setting SQLite database limits at runtime.

Each property corresponds to an SQLite limit and can be read or written.

const db = new DatabaseSync(':memory:');

console.log(db.limits.length);

db.limits.sqlLength = 100000;

db.limits.sqlLength = Infinity;

Available properties: `length`, `sqlLength`, `column`, `exprDepth`,

`compoundSelect`, `vdbeOp`, `functionArg`, `attach`, `likePatternLength`,

`variableNumber`, `triggerDepth`.

Setting a property to `Infinity` resets the limit to its compile-time maximum value.
