update: See last lines

I tried to repeat this performance by making an SQLite database of those two tables + indexes, together 600 MB, employees with 18M rows, groups with just 3 rows.

"select * from employees where sam_account_name = '<some unique value>'" takes 3 seconds. Your query takes even longer.

So, it seems your results are normal. SQLite is not a particularly fast database. (Then again, I know next to nothing of SQLite; it's always slow-ish in my hands so maybe I do something wrong.)

FWIW, postgres runs this same query in less than a millisecond, with the same data.

Could sqllitestudio be caching the query, or the data? It seems likely; sqllitestudio is just a wrapper, from what I read on its website.

How fast is a SQLite commandline query? Maybe you can try something like:

time sqlite3 ~/employee.db "select e.* from employees e, groups g where e.sam_account_name = g.sam_account_name and g.group_name = 'whatever' order by e.last_name, e.first_name"

(Sorry, I don't know the windows invocation.)

update: Mea culpa: I botched the indexing (didn't commit..), and with the indexes fixed it worked all right: fast, and just as fast as postgres. So I take all the above back.

update 2: now ran it on windows 7 too and it was PDQ there as well.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
