The following PRAGMAs are available in the BDB SQL interface, but they
behave differently in some way.

<h3 class="title"><a id="journal_size_limit"></a>PRAGMA journal_size_limit</h3>

<p>
For standard SQLite, this pragma identifies the
maximum size that the journal file is allowed to be.
</p>
<p>
Berkeley DB does not have a journal file, but it does write
and use <span class="emphasis"><em>log files</em></span>. Over the course
of the database's lifetime, Berkeley DB will probably create
multiple log files. A new log file is created when the
current log file has reached the defined maximum size
for a log file.
</p>
<p>
You use <code class="literal">PRAGMA journal_size_limit</code> to
define this maximum size for a log file.
</p>
<p>

<a class="xref" href="admin-logfile.html#logfilesize" title="Setting the Log File Size">Setting the Log File Size</a>.

<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="max_page_count"></a>PRAGMA max_page_count</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
For standard SQLite, this identifies the maximum
number of pages allowed in the database. For the
BDB SQL interface, this identifies the maximum size (in bytes)
that the database file is allowed to be.
</p>
<p>
For both interfaces, this pragma performs essentially
the same function, but you express the upper bound in a
slightly different way depending on which interface you
are using.
