Hi, I referred the link http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/tktview?tn=2829 it is slightly related to it but the temporary files are created while running VACUUM command. --------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket 2829:
This patch seems to fix it (added: SQLITE_OPEN_DELETEONCLOSE): if( flags & (SQLITE_OPEN_TEMP_DB | SQLITE_OPEN_TEMP_JOURNAL - | SQLITE_OPEN_SUBJOURNAL) ){ + | SQLITE_OPEN_SUBJOURNAL | SQLITE_OPEN_DELETEONCLOSE) ){ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The temp files were created in the below call sequence: ----------------------------------------------------------------- 62 otherOsOpen() sqlite3.c:123900 0x3afe25bd 61 sqlite3OsOpen() sqlite3.c:15280 0x3af550d0 60 pagerOpentemp() sqlite3.c:39431 0x3af62e70 59 pager_write_pagelist() sqlite3.c:40030 0x3af63a68 58 sqlite3PagerCommitPhaseOne() sqlite3.c:41884 0x3af669ff 57 sqlite3BtreeCommitPhaseOne() sqlite3.c:48993 0x3af72665 56 sqlite3BtreeCommit() sqlite3.c:49083 0x3af728e6 55 sqlite3RunVacuum() sqlite3.c:94735 0x3afcce29 54 sqlite3VdbeExec() sqlite3.c:66384 0x3af961e4 53 sqlite3Step() sqlite3.c:59380 0x3af87b34 52 sqlite3_step() sqlite3.c:59444 0x3af87d6e 51 sqlite3_exec() sqlite3.c:84701 0x3afb86b9 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Basically there 2 problems associated when i run VACUUM command. Problem 1. Running VACUUM leaves 3 temporary files in the temp directory which are not deleted when main DB is closed. Problem 2. Upon applying VACUUM command on say main DB file MyDb.db , and closing the main DB connection, the size of the main DB file MyDb.db does not change where as one of the temp file(etilqs_*) will actually contain the reduced size of the same data as of main DB file. I am not sure if this is the expected behaviour or there is some bug in the flow. Please let me know if there is a solution to resolve this issue.
