Hi, I am wondering if very small BLOBs are stored inline with the record fields (in the same page) or in another page?
So far I had not worried about it, but now I have a usage case where I need to store 128 and 256 bit integers (numbers, not IDs or hashes), SQLite does not support such large integers natively, so I am planning to store them as little-endian binary blobs, so that the BINARY collation can work for sorting, and for the rest I would do the processing with custom functions or plain old code. However I will have quite a lot of those numbers, and would like to know if they would be stored inline with the rest of the records (would be preferable for db size), or with an indirection in another page of the db (so larger db), and if stored in another page, if there is an alternative, such as passing binary as "utf8 text"and forcing a COLLATE BINARY on the column? (yes, I could test that or use the source, but I would also like to have some "designer feedback", as what current SQLite version does may not be what designers intend for future SQLite versions) Thanks!
