SQLite Internals: Pages & B-trees
This constrained size means that SQLite doesn't include every bell and whistle. It's careful to include the 95% of what you need in a database—strong SQL support, transactions, windowing functions, CTEs, etc—without cluttering the source with more esoteric features.
