Description

When a SQLiteException is thrown we cannot handle properly the error because we don't have enough information about it.
For example, when a primary key constraint exception occur, when only know it's a constraint exception but we don't know which one.
You already have a test when you throw a NotNullConstraintViolationException but there is so much exception missing.
I think it could be good to add inside SQLiteException the extended error code.

Research direction

Locate SQLiteException and the existing test for NotNullConstraintViolationException, then inspect how SQLite error information is currently exposed. Add the extended error code to the exception and add coverage showing that distinct constraint errors can be identified.
