I forgot that sqlite page_size is lost during a .dump. The command should actually be:
(echo "PRAGMA page_size=8192;" ; sqlite3 your.db .dump) | sqlite3 new.db This runs 4 times faster on my machine with a large database than the command below with a default page_size of 1024. Replace 8192 with the desired page size. ----- Original Message ---- I'd be curious to learn if the timings of VACUUM on this database are any different than the following: sqlite3 your.db .dump | sqlite3 new.db ____________________________________________________________________________________ Sponsored Link Don't quit your job - take classes online www.Classesusa.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
