SQLite .NET performance, how to speed up things?

Question

On my system, ~86000 SQLite insertions took up to 20 minutes, means ~70 insertions per second. I have to do millions, how can I speed up it? Calling Open() and Close() on SQ

Answer 1

Use transactions. This should make things faster. Also I would recommend you the following pattern:

public int InsertResultItem(string runTag, int topicId,
    string documentNumber, int rank, double score)
{
    // Apre la connessione e imposta il comando
    using (var connection = new SQLiteConnection(SomeConnectionString))
    using (var command = new connection.CreateCommand())
    {
        connection.Open();
        using (var tx = connection.BeginTransaction())
        {
            command.CommandText = "INSERT OR IGNORE INTO Result "
                + "(RunTag, TopicId, DocumentNumber, Rank, Score) " +
                "VALUES (@RunTag, @TopicId, @DocumentNumber, @Rank, @Score)";

            // Imposta i parametri
            command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@RunTag", runTag);
            command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@TopicId", topicId);
            command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@DocumentNumber", documentNumber);
            command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Rank", rank);
            command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Score", score);

            // Ottieni il risultato e chiudi la connessione
            var retval = command.ExecuteNonQuery();
            tx.Commit();
            return retval;
        }
    }
}
