How big should a SQLite database be?
The maximum size of a database file is 4294967294 pages. At the maximum page size of 65536 bytes, this translates into a maximum database size of approximately 1.4e+14 bytes (281 terabytes, or 256 tebibytes, or 281474 gigabytes or 256,000 gibibytes).
Is SQLite good for large databases?
SQLite supports databases up to 281 terabytes in size, assuming you can find a disk drive and filesystem that will support 281-terabyte files. Even so, when the size of the content looks like it might creep into the terabyte range, it would be good to consider a centralized client/server database.
How do you VACUUM SQLite?
The VACUUM command works by copying the contents of the database into a temporary database file and then overwriting the original with the contents of the temporary file. When overwriting the original, a rollback journal or write-ahead log WAL file is used just as it would be for any other database transaction.
How scalable is SQLite?
SQLite scales reads well with the number of cores on a machine. Amazon AWS has machines that can then scale up to 96 CPU cores and hundreds of gigabytes of RAM. If you exceed the capacity of a single node, sharding your data can allow you to scale horizontally to multiple nodes.
