Hi Here's My Situation: ------------------------------------- I have an XML file which contains user created data. It can have maybe 10,000 or more nodes. The XML needs to be queried infrequently for use in the application, in a way that lends itself more to SQL. For example the only query that I will use is "SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE BookID IN (2,3,4,5,7,8,23,24,25,26,27,38,67,66)" That's a good example. The IN parameters can vary with numbers ranging form 1 to 66. IN COMES SQLITE3 --------------------------------------- So I decided to pull all the XML nodes into the Sqlite3 databse at application start up. But I have discovered some slowness. So far I have simply reused the quick start code. I modified it to do the following: 1. Open the Database. 2. Drop the 2 tables if they exist in the database 3. Created 2 tables if not exist - Lookup_BookID and Question LookupID has a primary key on BookID and Question has no index. 4. Then I simply insert 66 records into lookup_bookID at application start up. Well simply by inserting 66 3 field records into my LookupID , I count 7 seconds. So it makes me a bit concerned that when I have to drop my XML repository with 7,000 to 10,000 records it will take forever at application start up ? Is there a way to execute all these inserts much faster than I am currently doing ? I am currently simply using sqlite3_exec(db, "INSERT SQL STATEMENT ", ... etc etc ) for every single insert statement. Is there away to maximize this speed dramatically to do 10,000 inserts in less than 5 seconds. Thanks Stephen
