SQLite calls unlink() immediately after open(). So the OS deallocates the file automatically when it closes. The O_EXCL, O_CREAT, and O_NOFOLLOW flags are set on open(). The filename includes 64-bits of randomness. Windows is similar except the file is opened with the FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE flag because you cannot unlink() an open file on Windows. -- D.
