There doesn't appear to be any real documentation over what page size to use. I think it is more of a case of experimenting and determining which is best for your system/application.
In the archive I found an article stating that for optimum performance on Win32 to match the page size with that of the disk cluster size. We are using SQLite on an embedded system with a Flash filesystem and found that SQLite performed best with 8K pages and we matched the sector size in Flash to 8K. (Where a sector size on our flash filesystem is equivalent to the cluster size on a FAT disk). We were able to effectivaley select the cluster size for our filesystem and found SQlite worked best with the larger page size although it does need to match the cluster size for optimum performance. Hope this helps. > -----Original Message----- > From: Zibetti Paolo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 25 October 2005 11:40 > To: sqlite-users@sqlite.org > Subject: [sqlite] Optimal page size > > > I could not find a document explaining how to find the > optimal value for the > "page size" parameter. > Should I set the page size to match the allocation size > (cluster size) of > the file system ? > Should I set it so that each page contains exactly a given > number of records > (i.e. no record is split between two pages) ? > > Thank you, bye > > > DISCLAIMER: This information and any attachments contained in this email message is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged, confidential, and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
