I want to drop all tables that does not have rows.
How to drop all empty tables in SQLite?
EDIT
I need to do this on a mobile phone (no shell there). On a Windows Mobile phone.
Tables can be dropped, whether or not they have data in them when the command is executed. Dunno of any database that operates otherwise. So that means:
1) Getting a list of tables -
SELECT name
FROM sqlite_master
WHERE type = 'table'
2) Iterate over that list, using COUNT(*) to determine if any rows exist within a table:
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM ~table
3) If the number returned is less than 1, execute a DROP statement:
DROP TABLE ~table
SQLite doesn't have function or stored procedure support - you'll have to do this from your application.
