Question

I found this snippet for executing a vacuum of an sqlite3 db but it doesn’t work.

can anyone tell me what is wrong with it.

sqlite3_exec(dataBase, "VACUUM;", 0, 0);

Thanks…

Answer 1

ok here’s the solution to make the vacuum command work.

if(sqlite3_exec(dataBase, "VACUUM;", 0, 0, NULL) == SQLITE_OK) {
    NSLog(@"Vacuumed DataBase");
}

that makes the command work however the app is locked out of the database while it runs.
