Synchronizing sqlite database from memory to file

Question

I\'m writing an application which must log information pretty frequently, say, twice in a second. I wish to save the information to an sqlite database, however I don\'t mind

Answer 1

If you're executing each insert within it's own transaction - that could be a significant contributor to the slow-downs you're seeing. Perhaps you could:

• Count the number of records inserted so far
• Begin a transaction
• Insert your record
• Increment count
• Commit/end transaction when N records have been inserted
• Repeat

The downside is that if the system crashes during that period you risk loosing the un-committed records (but if you were willing to use an in-memory database, than it sounds like you're OK with that risk).
