But on modern hardware, +a 4096 byte page is a faster and better choice. +So, beginning with SQLite <a href="releaselog/3_12_0.html">version 3.12.0</a> (2016-03-29)) the default +page size for new database files has been increased to 4096 bytes. +</p> + +<p> +The upper bound on the database <a href="pragma.html#pragma_cache_size">cache size</a> has +traditionally defaulted to 2000 pages. SQLite <a href="releaselog/3_12_0.html">version 3.12.0</a> also +changes this default setting to be "-2000" which means 2000*1024 +bytes, regardless of page size. So, the upper bound on the amount +of memory used for the page cache is unchanged. +</p> + +<h2>2.0 <u>Not</u> a Compatibility Break</h2> + +<p> +These changes in the default behavior of SQLite are not +a compatibility break. All legacy database files continue to be +readable and writable by newer versions of SQLite, and all newly +created database files continue to be readable and writable by +legacy versions of the SQLite library. The only thing that is changing +is some default settings. This should result in a performance +increase for many applications. +</p> + +<p> +Though most application should not notice any change (except that +they run a little faster), if problems arise then the +legacy behavior can be restored at compile-time by using the +following options to the C-compiler: + +<blockquote><pre> +-DSQLITE_DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE=1024 +-DSQLITE_DEFAULT_CACHE_SIZE=2000 +</pre></blockquote> + +<p> +The page size and cache size can also be set or changed at run-time using the +<a href="pragma.html#pragma_page_size">page_size pragma</a> and <a href="pragma.html#pragma_cache_size">cache_size pragma</a>, respectively. + +<h2>3.0 Possible Negative Consequences Of This Change</h2> + +<p> +The minimum size of an SQLite database is one page for each table and +each index. With a larger page size, the size of an empty database +for a given schema will grow by a factor of four, therefore. However, +once the database begins to fill with content the size of the older +1024-byte page databases and the newer 4096-byte page databases will +quickly converge. Due to relaxed bin-packing constraints, the +4096-byte page size might actually result in a smaller file, once +substantial content is added. +</p> +<p align="center"><small><i>This page last modified on <a href="https://sqlite.org/docsrc/honeypot" id="mtimelink" data-href="https://sqlite.org/docsrc/finfo/pages/pgszchng2016.in?m=174c2a23e2">2022-01-08 05:02:57</a> UTC </small></i></p> + |
