Description: The file mode that the engine will use to open the database file.

"Read Write" is the default mode and will permit multiple processes to work with the database normally. "Exclusive" will prevent any other processes from opening the database and will permit the current process to work normally. "Shared Read" will let other processes open the database in read only mode but will let the current process work normally.
