Possible causes.
#1 You need indexes (quite possible) -- though it appears to me that all the casting is going to kill using indexes. #2 You need to increase cache (likely) -- try "pragam cache_size=2000000" #3 You're hitting swap space (doubtful) #4 You need to do this in your own code instead of SQL. Likely to be a LOT faster. Can you show the "explain query plan" for this? Can't you use the dates without casting them? Then you could use an index which would speed things up a lot too. Each one of your selects if probably doing a complete table scan due to the cast and math. Michael D.

The final query is: SELECT STRFTIME('%Y-%m-%d %H %M', MIN(date)) AS Date, (SELECT open from eurusd e2 where CAST(STRFTIME('%s', e2.date) AS INTEGER) >= CAST(STRFTIME('%s', e1.date) AS INTEGER) / (5 * 60) * 5 * 60 order by e2.date asc limit 1) AS Open, MAX(high) as High, MIN(low) as Low, (SELECT close from eurusd e3 where CAST(STRFTIME('%s', e3.date) AS INTEGER) < (CAST(STRFTIME('%s', e1.date) AS INTEGER) / (5 * 60) + 1) * 5 * 60 order by e3.date desc limit 1) AS Close FROM eurusd e1 GROUP BY CAST(STRFTIME('%s', e1.date) / (5 * 60) AS INTEGER) The problem is that is veeeeery slooooow. It takes nearly 24 hours to query 1 year of Forex data in my laptop (and I have to work with 10 years periods). I will spend a couple of days learning about sqlite optimization. Many thanks for all the answers.
