    ^The default suggested cache size can be altered using the
    [SQLITE_DEFAULT_CACHE_SIZE] compile-time options.
    ^The TEMP database has a default suggested cache size of 0 pages.</p>

    <p>^If the argument N is positive then the suggested cache size is set 
    to N. ^If the argument N is negative, then the
    number of cache pages is adjusted to be a number of pages that would
    use approximately abs(N*1024) bytes of memory based on the current
    page size.  SQLite remembers the number of pages in the page cache,
    not the amount of memory used.  So if you set the cache size using
    a negative number and subsequently change the page size (using the
    [PRAGMA page_size] command) then the maximum amount of cache
    memory will go up or down in proportion to the change in page size.

    <p><i>Backwards compatibility note:</i>
    The behavior of cache_size with a negative N
    was different prior to [version 3.7.10] ([dateof:3.7.10]).  In
    earlier versions, the number of pages in the cache was set
    to the absolute value of N.</p>

    <p>^When you change the cache size using the cache_size pragma, the
    change only endures for the current session.  ^The cache size reverts
    to the default value when the database is closed and reopened.</p>

    <p>The default page cache implemention does not allocate
    the full amount of cache memory all at once.  Cache memory
    is allocated in smaller chunks on an as-needed basis.  The page_cache
    setting is a (suggested) upper bound on the amount of memory that the
    cache can use, not the amount of memory it will use all of the time.
    This is the behavior of the default page cache implementation, but an
    [sqlite3_pcache_methods2 | applicaction defined page cache] is free
    to behave differently if it wants.
