Hello I'm having trouble with one table in my database.
When I build my database from scratch using millions of inserts, one table causes problems. Inserts get slower and slower. I have about 830,000 inserts for that table. It gets to 300,000 pretty fast, but then it gets slower and slower, and eventually it will only do a few inserts per second, and I then I have to kill sqlite3 as it will run for hours if not days. The -echo option reveals that it gets slower and slower. sqlite3 runs at 100% CPU. I create other similar tables with 830,000 inserts the same way, but inserts into them don't slow down. The table in question is: CREATE TABLE Voksenlia2 ( temp_in REAL, pressure REAL, rh_in REAL, temp_in_2 REAL, temp_in_3 REAL, temp_in_4 REAL, temp_in_5 REAL, temp_ground_0cm REAL, temp_ground_10cm REAL, temp_ground_20cm REAL, temp_ground_50cm REAL, radiation INTEGER, radiation_2 INTEGER, uv REAL, temp_uv REAL, unix_time INTEGER, PRIMARY KEY (unix_time) ); The commands start this way: begin; insert into Voksenlia2 values(25.010, 1011.260, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, 1072915200); insert into Voksenlia2 values(25.010, 1011.260, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, 1075063152); and eventually end in a "commit". So only one transaction. I've tried: * PRAGMA synchronous=OFF. * Create the database file in /dev/shm/ (RAM disk). * Break up the inserts into several transactions. * Create and fill this table before everything else. * Upgrade from version 3.4.2 to 3.7.10. Nothing has made any difference. Any ideas? Anything I could try or any ways to debug this? -- Steinar _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
