+### Thread-safety
+
+SQLite supports three mode of thread safety, as describe in "SQLite And Multiple Threads" :
+see http://www.sqlite.org/threadsafe.html
+
+This SQLiteC++ wrapper does no add any lock (no mutexes) nor any other thread-safety mecanism
+above the SQLite library itself, by design, for lightness and speed.
+
+Thus, SQLiteC++ naturally supports the "Multi Thread" mode of SQLite ;
+"In this mode, SQLite can be safely used by multiple threads
+provided that no single database connection is used simultaneously in two or more threads."
+
+But SQLiteC++ does not support the fully thread-safe "Serialized" mode of SQLite,
+because of the way it shares the underling SQLite precompiled statement
+in a custom shared pointer (See the inner class "Statement::Ptr").
+
 ### Installation:
 
 To use this wrappers, you need to add the 10 SQLiteC++ source files from the src/ directory
