       <br>PRAGMA page_size = </b><i>bytes</i><b>;</b></p>
    <p>Query or set the page size of the database. The page size
    may only be set if the database has not yet been created. The page
    size must be a power of two greater than or equal to 512 and less
    than or equal to [SQLITE_MAX_PAGE_SIZE].
    The maximum value for [SQLITE_MAX_PAGE_SIZE] is 32768.

    </p>

    <p>When a new database is created, SQLite assigned a default page size
    based on information received from the xSectorSize and 
    xDeviceCharacteristics methods of the [sqlite3_io_methods] object
    of the newly created database file.  The page_size pragma will only
    cause an immediate change in the
    page size if it is issued while the database is still empty, prior 
    to the first CREATE TABLE statement.  As of [version 3.5.8], if
    the page_size pragma is used to specify a new page size just prior to
    running the [VACUUM] command then [VACUUM] will change the page
    size to the new value.</p>

    <p>If SQLite is compiled with the SQLITE_ENABLE_ATOMIC_WRITE option,
    then the default page size is chosen to be the largest page size
    less than or equal to SQLITE_MAX_DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE for which atomic
    write is enabled according to the
    xDeviceCharacteristics method of the [sqlite3_io_methods] object for
    the database file.  If the SQLITE_ENABLE_ATOMIC_WRITE option is
    disabled or if xDeviceCharacteristics reports no suitable atomic
    write page sizes, then the default page size is the larger of 1024
    and the sector size as reported by the xSectorSize method of the
    [sqlite3_io_methods] object, but not more than 
    SQLITE_MAX_DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE.  The default configuration for SQLite
    running on workstations is for atomic write to be
    disabled, for the maximum page size to be set to 32768, and for the
    maximum default page size to be set to 8192.  The default xSectorSize
    method on workstation implementations always reports a sector size
    of 512 bytes.  Hence, 
    the default page size chosen by SQLite is usually 1024 bytes.</p>
