If the database changes are big in 7.3 (or probably 8.0) it will probably result in that the database is upgraded and also cleared. However this is still better than also performing the rescan automatically, the reason is that for advanced users it doesn't make sense to spend time filling the database until you have configured all the parameters that specifies how the database should be filled.
The default should be that it creates/upgrade the database and also runs a rescan, this will work good for normal users. For advanced users already familiar with SqueezeCenter it should be possible to select to only create/upgrade the database but not perform the rescan.
