Bulk insert huge data into SQLite using Python

Question

I read this: Importing a CSV file into a sqlite3 database table using Python

and it seems that everyone suggests using line-by-line reading instead of using bulk .im

Answer 1

Since this is the top result on a Google search I thought it might be nice to update this question.

From the python sqlite docs you can use

import sqlite3

persons = [
    ("Hugo", "Boss"),
    ("Calvin", "Klein")
]

con = sqlite3.connect(":memory:")

# Create the table
con.execute("create table person(firstname, lastname)")

# Fill the table
con.executemany("insert into person(firstname, lastname) values (?,?)", persons)

I have used this method to commit over 50k row inserts at a time and it's lightning fast.
