Re: [sqlite] .db file size is not changing
I did, but the schema is about 4 times smaller than the DB file; also the SQL script should be more comprimable than the db file. This is obvious, because the db file also contain the SQL schema queries, so it must be larger than the only SQLite schema :) Paolo I think you have to do some VACUUM'ing in order to shrink the database. --Keith -Original Message- From: Paolo Vernazza [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 26, 2004 9:56 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [sqlite] .db file size is not changing Unnikrishnan Nair wrote: Hi all, I have a sqlite database.

Unni I think that it is better let your program create the DB structure from a sql schema script. Usually it is smaller than the corresponding DB.. sqlite data.db .schema > schema.sql Paolo

Re: [sqlite] .db file size is not changing
I am using sqlite for .Net dll for my programs. Do I have to change the dll if I change the sqlite from 2.8.0 to 2.8.15? --- Will Leshner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Unnikrishnan Nair wrote: > > > I am using 2.8.0 > > You might want to give 2.8.15 a try because I do > think there was a VACUUM bug fixed recently. > __ Do you Yahoo!?

Well, I deleted the rows, droped the index and did a vacuum on the table and nothing happen. I still have the file size as 198M.
