Large number of SQLite inserts using PHP

Question

I have about 14000 rows of comma separated values that I am trying to insert into a sqlite table using PHP PDO, like so:

Answer 1

From SQLlite FAQ :

Transaction speed is limited by disk drive speed because (by default) SQLite actually waits until the data really is safely stored on the disk surface before the transaction is complete. That way, if you suddenly lose power or if your OS crashes, your data is still safe. For details, read about atomic commit in SQLite.. [...]

Another option is to run PRAGMA synchronous=OFF. This command will cause SQLite to not wait on data to reach the disk surface, which will make write operations appear to be much faster. But if you lose power in the middle of a transaction, your database file might go corrupt.

I'd say this last paragraph is what you need.

EDIT: No sure about this, but I believe using sqlite_unbuffered_query() should do the trick.
