    <p>When the auto-vacuum flag is set, the database file shrinks when a

    useful in a database with the auto-vacuum flag set). To support this

    in slightly larger database files than would otherwise be possible.</p>








    <p>It is only possible to modify the value of the auto-vacuum flag before
    any tables have been created in the database. No error message is 
    returned if an attempt to modify the auto-vacuum flag is made after
    one or more tables have been created.

puts {
<ul>
<a name="pragma_auto_vacuum"></a>
<li><p><b>PRAGMA auto_vacuum;<br>
          PRAGMA auto_vacuum = </b>
            <i>0 | none | 1 | full | 2 | incremental</i><b>;</b></p>
    <p>Query or set the auto-vacuum flag in the database.</p>

    <p>Normally, (that is to say when auto_vacuum is 0 or "none")
    when a transaction that deletes data from a database is
    committed, the database file remains the same size. Unused database file 

    pages are added to a "freelist" are reused for subsequent inserts.  The
    database file does not shrink.
    In this mode the <a href="lang_vacuum.html">VACUUM</a>
    command can be used to reclaim unused space.</p>

    <p>When the auto-vacuum flag is 1 (full), the freelist pages are



    moved to the end of the file and the file is truncated to remove
    the freelist pages at every commit.
    Note, however, that auto-vacuum only truncates the freelist pages
    from the file.  Auto-vacuum does not defragment the database nor
    repack individual database pages the way that the
    <a href="lang_vacuum.html">VACUUM</a> command does.  In fact, because
    it moves pages around within the file, auto-vacuum can actually
    make fragmentation worse.</p>





    <p>Auto-vacuuming is only possible if the database stores some
    additional information that allows each database page to be
    traced backwards to its referer.  Therefore, auto-vacuuming must
    be turned on before any tables are created.  It is not possible
    to enable or disable auto-vacuum after a table has been created.</p>

    <p>When the value of auto-vacuum is 2 (incremental) then the additional
    information needed to do autovacuuming is stored in the database file
    but autovacuuming does not occur automatically at each commit as it
    does with auto_vacuum==full.  In incremental mode, the separate
    <a href="#pragma_incremental_vacuum">incremental_vacuum</a> pragma must
    be invoked to cause the vacuum to occur.  The incremental vacuum mode
    is not persistent.  It must be set anew with each new database 
    connection.  When a database with incremental vacuum is closed and
    reopened, it comes up in auto_vacuum==full mode until explicitly
    changed to incremental mode using this pragma.</p>

    <p>The database connection can be changed between full and incremental
    autovacuum mode at will.  However, the connection cannot be changed
    in and out of the "none" mode after any table has been created in the
    database.

<a name="pragma_incremental_vacuum"></a>
<li><p><b>PRAGMA incremental_vacuum</b><i>(N)</i><b>;</b></p>
    <p>The incremental_vacuum pragma causes up to <i>N</i> pages to
    be removed from the freelist.  The database file is truncated by
    the same amount.  The incremental_vacuum pragma has no effect if
    the database is not in
    <a href="#pragma_auto_vacuum">auto_vacuum==incremental</a> mode
    or if there are no pages on the freelist.  If there are fewer than
    <i>N</i> pages on the freelist, then the entire freelist is cleared.</p>

    <p>As of version 3.3.18 (the first version that supports
    incremental_vacuum) this feature is still experimental.  Possible
    future changes include enhancing incremental vacuum to do
    defragmentation and node repacking just as the full-blown
    <a href="lang_vacuum.html">VACUUM</a> command does.  And
    incremental vacuum may be promoted from a pragma to a separate
    SQL command, or perhaps some variation on the VACUUM command.
    Programmers are cautioned to not become enamored with the
    current syntax or functionality as it is likely to change.</p>
