sqliteHow can I use the SQLite Pragma command?


The SQLite Pragma command is used to query and set various parameters and flags within the SQLite environment. It is a non-standard extension to the SQL language, and provides access to various configuration settings and performance-related features.

The syntax of the Pragma command is:

PRAGMA [database.]pragma-name [= value]

Where pragma-name is the name of the pragma and value is an optional parameter.

For example, to check the auto-vacuum mode of a database, the following command can be used:

PRAGMA auto_vacuum;

The output of this command will be either 0 (no auto-vacuum), 1 (full auto-vacuum) or 2 (incremental auto-vacuum).

The Pragma command can also be used to set various flags, such as the synchronous flag, which determines how often data is written to the disk:

PRAGMA synchronous=OFF;

The output of this command will be OK.

The Pragma command is an essential tool for managing and optimizing SQLite databases. For more information, see the SQLite Pragma documentation.
