-   If *uri* is true, *database* is interpreted as a URI. This allows you

-   you can use::

+   If *uri* is :const:`True`, *database* is interpreted as a
+   :abbr:`URI (Uniform Resource Identifier)` with a file path and an optional
+   query string.  The scheme part *must* be ``"file:"``.  The path can be a
+   relative or absolute file path.  The query string allows us to pass
+   parameters to SQLite. Some useful URI tricks include::
+
+       # Open a database in read-only mode.
+       con = sqlite3.connect("file:template.db?mode=ro", uri=True)
+
+       # Don't implicitly create a new database file if it does not already exist.
+       # Will raise sqlite3.OperationalError if unable to open a database file.
+       con = sqlite3.connect("file:nosuchdb.db?mode=rw", uri=True)
+
+       # Create a shared named in-memory database.
+       con1 = sqlite3.connect("file:mem1?mode=memory&cache=shared", uri=True)
+       con2 = sqlite3.connect("file:mem1?mode=memory&cache=shared", uri=True)
+       con1.executescript("create table t(t); insert into t values(28);")
+       rows = con2.execute("select * from t").fetchall()
