How to use SQLite 3's vacuum command in Python

Question

I cannot find any example on the net of how the SQLite 3 vacuum command is done on a database.

Answer 1

import sqlite3  

con = sqlite3.connect(<file_name>)  
..  
con.execute("VACUUM") 
.. 

Answer 2

Just open a connection and execute the VACUUM command;

conn=sqlite3.connect(SQLITE_FILE)
conn.execute("VACUUM")
conn.close()
