How to correctly set the SQLITE_MAX_VARIABLE_NUMBER from a connection?

I’m using Peewee and obtain my connection from an URL like this:

from playhouse.db_url import connect

db = connect('sqlite:///C:/some/file.db')
connection = db.connection()
connection.execute('PRAGMA foreign_keys=ON')
# How can I set the SQLITE_MAX_VARIABLE_NUMBER here?
connection.execute('?????????????????')

How can I correctly increase the SQLITE_MAX_VARIABLE_NUMBER? I am stuck in an older 2.x SQLite version and can’t upgrade unfortunately … corporate policies. I am aware that the latest versions of SQLite have increased the default limit beyond 999.

See the documentation here: https://www.sqlite.org/limits.html#max_variable_number

You will need to recompile Sqlite to raise the limits.
