The SQLite-specific schema feature is documented at https://www.sqlite.org/withoutrowid.html and https://www.sqlite.org/rowidtable.html. By default, SQLite stores each table in a B-tree keyed by an integer, called the ROWID. Any index, including the PRIMARY KEY index, is a separate B-tree mapping index keys to ROWIDs. Tables without ROWIDs are stored in a B-tree keyed by the primary key. Additional indexes (the PRIMARY KEY index is implicitly built into the table) are stored as B-trees mapping index keys to row primary keys. This CL introduces a boolean --use-rowids flag to db_bench_sqlite. When the flag is false (default), the schema of the test table includes WITHOUT ROWID. The test table uses a primary key, so adding WITHOUT ROWID to the schema reduces the number of B-trees used by the benchmark from 2 to 1. This brings SQLite's disk usage closer to LevelDB. When WITHOUT ROWID is used, SQLite fares better (than today) on benchmarks with small (16-byte) keys, and worse on benchmarks with large (100kb) keys.
