How often are distributed transactions used elsewhere with two-phase commit?

All the time. I suspect this is similar.

Right but that’s bending SQLite a lot no? I mean it’s meant to be used as a file that has a sql interface. But I digress.
I wonder how many times SQLite has been passed over for a more complex solution because people thought they needed highly scalable distributed two phase commit or whatever when all they really needed was a file with an SQL interface
I'm guessing your response was sarcastic. I don't get it, though. If you need a distributed two-phase commit DB get one like CockroachDB or something like that. SQLite is not that.
