Expand description
CompactFile stores logical pages in smaller regions of backing storage.
Each logical page has a fixed size “starter page”.
A logical page that does not fit in the “starter page” has 1 or more “extension pages”.
Each extension page starts with its logical page number, to allow extension pages to be relocated as required.
When a new extension page is needed, it is allocated from the end of the file.
When an extension page is freed, the last extension page in the file is relocated to fill it.
The starter page section is extended as required when a logical page is written by relocating the first extension page to the end of the file.
File layout: file header | starter pages | extension pages.
Layout of starter page: 2 byte logical page size | array of 8 byte page numbers | user data | unused data.
Layout of extension page: 8 byte logical page number | user data | unused data.
All pages ( whether allocated or not ) initially have size zero.
Pages are allocated by simply incrementing lp_alloc, so sizes in the starter page section must be pre-initialised to zero when it is extended or after a renumber operation.
