Vacuum database...OK to do?

Recommended Posts

I noticed that with this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlitebrowser/

I can issue the VACUUM command to be carried out on Ketarins database and i was wondering...could this have some negative effects on the long run?.I mean maybe Ketarin has reserved some free space on the database and i suddenly vacuum it then it could create problems?

 

Im not too concerned that this won't make any huge difference(e.g gains are small).Im mainly concerned if it's ok to do on a regular basis?.I have issued the VACUUM command to my Firefox databases for more than a year on a regular basis and nothing has broken.

 

When i tested it the database went from 450KB to 390KB (Little over 13% reduction).
