Hello,

Here's another newbie question, but it doesn't look like the
documentation for vacuum covers this.

I'm using SQLite to store an application's log. Suppose I have a program
that runs nightly and deletes log records that are older than 60 days,
to keep the database from growing without boundaries.

I understand that deleting the records doesn't shrink the database file,
unless I also vacuum. However, will SQLite re-use the space taken by the
deleted records to store new ones? (Would I be better off not doing
vacuum, and letting SQLite reuse the disk space instead?) I believe this
is the case with PostgreSQL.

Thanks,

glauber
