SQLite currently uses nine distinct types of temporary files:Rollback journals Master journals Write-ahead Log (WAL) files Shared-memory files Statement journals TEMP databases Materializations of views and subqueries Transient indices Transient databases used by VACUUM Additional information about each of these temporary file types is in the sequel.
Wouldn't it be reasonable to expect SM to clean up these and all other temp files in the course of a normal shutdown (not a crash or force-close from the OS)? Or is that level of hygiene too much to expect?
In that case, shutting down SM on the two machines should purge all temp files on both, and then copying places.sqlite from one to the other should create no problems.
The only way a straightforward copy should cause problems would be if SM did not complete its housekeeping, right? And if so, deleting places.sqlite AND the temp files on the target machine should avoid any repercussions, right? It could even be a cure-all if the target machine were having trouble and the source machine were not.
