sqlite:db::create

Create an empty sqlite db
$ sqlite3 {db_filepath} "VACUUM;"
try on your machine

This command is executed on the command line in order to compact an SQLite database file. The "sqlite3" part calls the SQLite command line program. The {db_filepath} part is the path to the database file that needs to be compacted. The "VACUUM;" part is the command that tells SQLite to defragment and optimize the database file. It is important to note that this command should only be used on a closed database file, since it may corrupt the file if used while it is open.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
