Unless SQLite is running in "auto_vacuum=FULL" mode, when a large amount of data is deleted from the database file it leaves behind empty space, or "free" database pages.

Running VACUUM to rebuild the database reclaims this space and reduces the size of the database file.

Frequent inserts, updates, and deletes can cause the database file to become fragmented - where data for a single table or index is scattered around the database file.

However, when not in write-ahead log mode, the page_size and/or auto_vacuum properties of an existing database may be changed by using the page_size and/or pragma auto_vacuum pragmas and then immediately VACUUMing the database.

The VACUUM command works by copying the contents of the database into a temporary database file and then overwriting the original with the contents of the temporary file.

When overwriting the original, a rollback journal or write-ahead log WAL file is used just as it would be for any other database transaction.

This means that when VACUUMing a database, as much as twice the size of the original database file is required in free disk space.

The VACUUM INTO command works the same way except that it uses the file named on the INTO clause in place of the temporary database and omits the step of copying the vacuumed database back over top of the original database.

Unfinalized SQL statements typically hold a read transaction open, so the VACUUM might fail if there are unfinalized SQL statements on the same connection.

VACUUM (but not VACUUM INTO) is a write operation and so if another database connection is holding a lock that prevents writes, then the VACUUM will fail.

When auto_vacuum is enabled for a database free pages may be reclaimed after deleting data, causing the file to shrink, without rebuilding the entire database using VACUUM.
