# SQLite Buffer Pool Experiment
## Overview
This experiment demonstrates space-time tradeoffs in SQLite, the world's most deployed database engine. By varying the page cache size, we show how Williams' √n pattern appears in production database systems.
## Key Concepts
### Page Cache
- SQLite uses a page cache to keep frequently accessed database pages in memory
- Default: 2000 pages (can be changed with `PRAGMA cache_size`)
- Each page is typically 4KB-8KB
### Space-Time Tradeoff
- **Full cache O(n)**: All pages in memory, no disk I/O
- **√n cache**: Optimal balance for most workloads
- **Minimal cache**: Constant disk I/O, maximum memory savings
## Running the Experiments
### Quick Test
```bash
python test_sqlite_quick.py
```
### Full Experiment
```bash
python run_sqlite_experiment.py
```
### Heavy Workload Test
```bash
python sqlite_heavy_experiment.py
```
Tests with a 150MB database to force real I/O patterns.
## Results
Our experiments show:
1. **Modern SSDs reduce penalties**: Fast NVMe drives minimize the impact of cache misses
2. **Cache-friendly patterns**: Sequential access can be faster with smaller caches
3. **Real recommendations match theory**: SQLite docs recommend √(database_size) cache
## Real-World Impact
SQLite is used in:
- Every Android and iOS device
- Most web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari)
- Countless embedded systems
- Many desktop applications
The √n cache sizing is crucial for mobile devices with limited memory.
## Key Findings
- Theory predicts √n cache is optimal
- Practice shows modern hardware reduces penalties
- But √n sizing still recommended for diverse hardware
- Cache misses on mobile/embedded devices are expensive
## Generated Files
- `sqlite_experiment_results.json`: Detailed timing data
- `sqlite_spacetime_tradeoff.png`: Visualization
- `sqlite_heavy_experiment.png`: Heavy workload analysis
