** ^If the most recent call to [sqlite3_step(S)] for the
** [prepared statement] S indicated an error, then
** [sqlite3_reset(S)] returns an appropriate [error code].
+** ^The [sqlite3_reset(S)] interface might also return an [error code]
+** if there were no prior errors but the process of resetting
+** the prepared statement caused a new error. ^For example, if an
+** [INSERT] statement with a [RETURNING] clause is only stepped one time,
+** that one call to [sqlite3_step(S)] might return SQLITE_ROW but
+** the overall statement might still fail and the [sqlite3_reset(S)] call
+** might return SQLITE_BUSY if locking constraints prevent the
+** database change from committing. Therefore, it is important that
+** applications check the return code from [sqlite3_reset(S)] even if
+** no prior call to [sqlite3_step(S)] indicated a problem.

** ^The [sqlite3_reset(S)] interface does not change the values
