I'm not against rationalising the PRAGMA commands, but this wouldn't help with the example you gave. "page_size" is more accurately "the page size I would like it to be" and so can be "successfully" set at any time (providing it's a power of 2). The only time the current setting gets _acted_ upon is for a new database or _during_ a VACUUM command. (Unless I've misinterpreted something). Graham

This might provide a useful piece of diagnostic information for some users. For example suppose someone changes the page_size using this: PRAGMA page_size = 16384; They change page_size to 16384 but they don’t know that that works only for an empty database, or after a VACUUM. The PRAGMA outputs 4096 and, although they don’t yet know why, they do at least know that their change didn’t work properly.
