Hi,

To preserve the results of the discussion just taking place on IRC, here my 
(personal) summary:

- There should be a config option to include additional SQL statements on 
SQLite database creation. This could be used for fine-tuning like "PRAGMA 
page_size". This could be for both client (wc.db) and server (rep_cache.db).

- "svnadmin verify" should issue a "PRAGMA integrity_check" or "PRAGMA 
quick_check" for the rep_cache.db, as it seems to be a likely candidate for 
breakage. Danielsh gave "+1" on that one.

- Maybe "svn cleanup" could issue "PRAGMA integrity_check" or "PRAGMA 
quick_check" on the wc.db.

- SQLite already reuses free space in the wc.db, it just does not give it back 
to the OS by truncating the file by default.

- Issuing a "VACUUM" on "svn cleanup" to release unused space and reduce 
fragmentation seems not worth the slowdown (the complete wc.db is rewritten).

- "PRAGMA auto_vacuum" is a database creation time property which makes SQLite 
release most of the free space back to the OS at every end of transaction. The 
cost for this is (potentially) higher fragmentation and slowdown (due to moving 
of pages in the database file and additional backpointer metadata). This makes 
me hesitate to enable it by default, but users who want it could still use the 
above mentioned config option. :-)


Best regards

Markus Schaber
