the same database are the same size.  ^The page size for a database file
is determined by the 2-byte integer located at an offset of
16 bytes from the beginning of the database file.</p>

<p>Pages are numbered beginning with 1.  The maximum page number is
4294967294 (2<sup><small>32</small></sup> - 2).  The minimum size
SQLite database is a single 512-byte page.
The maximum size database would be 2147483646 pages at 65536 bytes per
page or 281,474,976,579,584 bytes (about 281 terabytes).  Usually SQLite will
hit the maximum file size limit of the underlying filesystem or disk
hardware long before it hits its own internal size limit.</p>

<p>In common use, SQLite databases tend to range in size from a few kilobytes
to a few gigabytes, though terabyte-size SQLite databases are known to exist
in production.</p>
