I understand all of that. You were asking "Why is this slow?" (which is the necessary precursor to "How do I make this faster?"). I replied "Commits are implied to be slow in SQLite."

I suspect that you are using SQLite correctly, but not for its intended purpose. It's like using Oracle for an online forum or BDB for a data warehouse. You could do that, but it wouldn't be recommended as best.

The person who claimed Foo is Nx faster than Bar is correct, for his/her needs. And, for your needs, Bar is Nx faster than Foo. We've all seen situations where a semi-tuned MySQL 4.1 database on a single CPU blew away an tuned Oracle 9.2 database running on a quad-Xeon. Yet, we're not going to claim that MySQL 3.x is faster than Oracle in all situations.

For your usage, BDB is clearly better. SQLite is probably better than BDB if the following is true:

  • Reads * LargeNumber >= Writes
  • Reads involve complex queries
  • Different reads may use different indices
Otherwise, it's probably best to use BDB.

Of course, I'm still wondering why SQLite is good when embedded MySQL exists. (Though the weird license is probably part of it ...)

Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.

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