chng {2010 December 08 (3.7.4)} {
<li> Added the [sqlite3_blob_reopen()] interface to allow an existing
     [sqlite3_blob] object to be rebound to a new row.
<li> Use the new [sqlite3_blob_reopen()] interface to improve the performance
     of FTS.
<li> [sqlite3_vfs | VFSes] that do not support shared memory are allowed
     to access [WAL] databases if [PRAGMA locking_mode] is set to EXCLUSIVE.
<li> Enhancements to [EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN].
<li> Added the [sqlite3_stmt_readonly()] interface.
<li> Added [PRAGMA checkpoint_fullfsync].
<li> Added the [SQLITE_FCNTL_FILE_POINTER] option
     to [sqlite3_file_control()].
}

chng {2010 October 08 (3.7.3)} {
<li> Added the [sqlite3_create_function_v2()] interface that includes a
     destructor callback.
<li> Added support for [custom r-tree queries] using application-supplied
     callback routines to define the boundary of the query region.

    has not been overloaded using [sqlite3_create_function()].</p>

Pragma incremental_vacuum {
    <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

    <p>^(<b>PRAGMA synchronous;
       <br>PRAGMA synchronous = </b>
          <i>0 | OFF | 1 | NORMAL | 2 | FULL</i><b>;</b></p>

    <p>Query or change the setting of the "synchronous" flag.)^
    ^The first (query) form will return the synchronous setting as an 
    integer.  ^When synchronous is FULL (2), the SQLite database engine will
    use the xSync method of the VFS to ensure that all content is safely
    written to the disk surface prior to continuing.
    This ensures that an operating system crash or power failure will
    not corrupt the dartbase.
    FULL synchronous is very safe, but it is also slower. 
    ^When synchronous is NORMAL (1), the SQLite database
    engine will still sync at the most critical moments, but less often
    than in FULL mode.  There is a very small (though non-zero) chance that
    a power failure at just the wrong time could corrupt the database in
    NORMAL mode.  But in practice, you are more likely to suffer
    a catastrophic disk failure or some other unrecoverable hardware
    fault.
    ^With synchronous OFF (0), SQLite continues without syncing
    as soon as it has handed data off to the operating system.
    If the application running SQLite crashes, the data will be safe, but
    the database might become corrupted if the operating system
    crashes or the computer loses power before that data has been written
    to the disk surface.  On the other hand, some
    operations are as much as 50 or more times faster with synchronous OFF.
    </p>
 
    <p>^In [WAL] mode when synchronous is NORMAL (1), the WAL file is
    synchronized before each [checkpoint] and the database file is
    synchronized after each completed [checkpoint], but no other sync
    operations occur.  ^With synchronous=FULL in WAL mode, an additional
    sync operation of the WAL file happens after each transaction commit.
    If durability is not a concern, then synchronous=NORMAL is normally
    all one needs in WAL mode.</p>

    <p>^The default setting is synchronous=FULL.</p>

    <p>See also the [fullfsync] and [checkpoint_fullfsync] pragmas.</p>
