A cursory look into
http://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_auto_vacuum   puzzles me:

" Auto-vacuuming is only possible if the database stores some
additional information that allows each database page to be traced
backwards to its referrer. Therefore, auto-vacuuming must be turned on
before any tables are created. It is not possible to enable or disable
auto-vacuum after a table has been created."

Does VACUUM command also rebuild a database or it should be done separately?
