Richard Hipp > [email protected] Thanks for the reply, but I am confused again. Is incremental vacuum different from the vacuum command? It seems like vacuum would defragment the database according to the description here: http://www.sqlite.org/lang_vacuum.html ============================= No, the auto_vacuum command differs from the regular vacuum command. The auto_vacuum command does not reduce (and may increase fragmentation). _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list [email protected] http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
