VACUUM generates a rollback journal. So losing power in the middle of a VACUUM will just cause the database to revert to its original state when power is restored. Note, however, that because of the temporary file and the journal, VACUUM can use temporary disk space that is a little more than twice the size of the original database file. -- D.
