This is on sqlite 3.3.6 on RedHat. And both runs are CPU bound. cc -DTEXT -o gendat gendat.c ./gendat >index1.sql cc -o gendat gendat.c ./gendat >index2.sql main() { char sql[4096]; char key[9]; long *lkey=key; int i; #ifdef TEXT puts("CREATE TABLE t (a text);"); #else puts("CREATE TABLE t (a integer);"); #endif puts("CREATE INDEX tx on t(a);"); puts("BEGIN;"); for(i=0;i<1000000;++i) { int j; for(j=0;j<8;++j) { key[j]=(random()%26)+'a'; } #ifdef TEXT printf("insert into t values('%s');\n",key); #else printf("insert into t values(%ld);\n",*lkey); #endif } puts("COMMIT;"); } time sqlite3 <index1.sql 19.307u 0.082s 0:19.40 99.8% 0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w time sqlite3 < index2.sql 19.266u 0.092s 0:19.37 99.8% 0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w Michael D.
