Ah, this tool seems very handy. For those curious, I'll paste the results below. The index approximately doubles the storage size, but I am intentionally making that tradeoff to avoid the slow down when enforcing a unique/primary key on the Reference table while inserting.

of bytes in a single page of the database file. Usually 1024. Number of pages in the whole file The number of 4096-byte pages that go into forming the complete database Pages that store data The number of pages that store data, either as primary B*Tree pages or as overflow pages. The number at the right is the data pages divided by the total number of pages in the file. Pages on the freelist The number of pages that are not currently in use but are reserved for future use. The percentage at the right is the number of freelist pages divided by the total number of pages in the file. Pages of auto-vacuum overhead The number of pages that store data used by the database to facilitate auto-vacuum. This is zero for databases that do not support auto-vacuum. Number of tables in the database The number of tables in the database, including the SQLITE_MASTER table used to store schema information. Number of indices The total number of indices in the database. Number of defined indices The number of indices created using an explicit CREATE INDEX statement. Number of implied indices The number of indices used to implement PRIMARY KEY or UNIQUE constraints on tables. Size of the file in bytes The total amount of disk space used by the entire database files. Bytes of user payload stored The total number of bytes of user payload stored in the database. The schema information in the SQLITE_MASTER table is not counted when computing this number. The percentage at the right shows the payload divided by the total file size. Percentage of total database The amount of the complete database file that is devoted to storing information described by this category. Number of entries The total number of B-Tree key/value pairs stored under this category. Bytes of storage consumed The total amount of disk space required to store all B-Tree entries under this category. The is the total number of pages used times the pages size. Bytes of payload The amount of payload stored under this category. Payload is the data part of table entries and the key part of index entries. The percentage at the right is the bytes of payload divided by the bytes of storage consumed. Bytes of metadata The amount of formatting and structural information stored in the table or index. Metadata includes the btree page header, the cell pointer array, the size field for each cell, the left child pointer or non-leaf cells, the overflow pointers for overflow cells, and the rowid value for rowid table cells. In other words, metadata is everything that is neither unused space nor content. The record header in the payload is counted as content, not metadata. Average payload per entry The average amount of payload on each entry. This is just the bytes of payload divided by the number of entries. Average unused bytes per entry The average amount of free space remaining on all pages under this category on a per-entry basis. This is the number of unused bytes on all pages divided by the number of entries. Non-sequential pages The number of pages in the table or index that are out of sequence. Many filesystems are optimized for sequential file access so a small number of non-sequential pages might result in faster queries, especially for larger database files that do not fit in the disk cache. Note that after running VACUUM, the root page of each table or index is at the beginning of the database file and all other pages are in a separate part of the database file, resulting in a single non- sequential page. Maximum payload per entry The largest payload size of any entry. Entries that use overflow The number of entries that user one or more overflow pages. Total pages used This is the number of pages used to hold all information in the current category. This is the sum of index, primary, and overflow pages. Index pages used This is the number of pages in a table B-tree that hold only key (rowid) information and no data. Primary pages used This is the number of B-tree pages that hold both key and data. Overflow pages used The total number of overflow pages used for this category. Unused bytes on index pages The total number of bytes of unused space on all index pages. The percentage at the right is the number of unused bytes divided by the total number of bytes on index pages. Unused bytes on primary pages The total number of bytes of unused space on all primary pages. The percentage at the right is the number of unused bytes divided by the total number of bytes on primary pages. Unused bytes on overflow pages The total number of bytes of unused space on all overflow pages. The percentage at the right is the number of unused bytes divided by the total number of bytes on overflow pages. Unused bytes on all pages The total number of bytes of unused space on all primary and overflow pages. The percentage at the right is the number of unused bytes divided by the total number of bytes. ******************************************************************************* The entire text of this report can be sourced into any SQL database engine for further analysis.
