I've study sqlite and just wanted to ask: speed record in the file of a prime number in a simple database from one column is 4 seconds. is it ok or i have some software/hardware problems? 256 notes writing above 4 seconds in SQLite and (2ms for not-mysql file writing ) I just can't believe that sqlite is so slow in write.

my code for comparison sqlite db work and file db work:

package demo_SQLite;

import java.io.BufferedOutputStream;
import java.io.DataOutputStream;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
import java.sql.Statement;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Random;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;

public class demo_SQLite {

private static Connection conn;
private static Statement state;
private static File db = new File("datafile");

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    Debug("Start DB!");
    run();
}

private static void run() throws IOException {
    try {
        if (!db.exists()) {
            db.createNewFile();
        }
        Class.forName("org.sqlite.JDBC");
        conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlite:" + db);
        state = conn.createStatement();

        state.executeUpdate("create table if not exists a(id integer,"
                + "time INT,"
                + "primary key (id));");

        PreparedStatement prep = conn.prepareStatement("insert into a values(?,?)");
        for (int i = 0; i < 257; i++) {
            int l = new Random().nextInt();
            prep.setInt(2, l);
            prep.execute();
        }
        prep.close();
        state.close();
        Debug("Done! (256)");
        file();
    } catch (Exception ex) {
        Logger.getLogger(Demo_MySQL.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    }
}

private static void file() {
    try {
        Debug("Start File!");
        File file = new File("filebase");
        DataOutputStream dos = null;
        dos = new DataOutputStream
        (new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(file)));
        int r = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < 257; ++i) {
            r = new Random().nextInt();
            dos.writeInt(r);
        }
        dos.flush();
        dos.close();
        Debug("Done! (256)");
    } catch (IOException ex) {
        Logger.getLogger(Demo_MySQL.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    }
}

public static void Debug(String msg) {
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss.SSS");
    Date date = new Date();
    System.out.println("[" + sdf.format(date) + "][DEBUG]: " + msg);
}
}

result:

run:
[07:53:49.829][DEBUG]: Start DB!
[07:53:53.223][DEBUG]: Done! (256)
[07:53:53.223][DEBUG]: Start File!
[07:53:53.253][DEBUG]: Done! (256)
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 5 seconds)

4 seconds! wow! it's awesome! please just tell me - this is normal or i do wrong something?

UPDATED.

seems, problem with auto commit. as i read somewhere just now, "By default, each INSERT statement is its own transaction. But if you surround multiple INSERT statements with BEGIN...COMMIT then all the inserts are grouped into a single transaction. The time needed to commit the transaction is amortized over all the enclosed insert statements and so the time per insert statement is greatly reduced."

i've just disable auto commit - corrected code and new result:

package demo_sqlite;

import java.io.DataOutputStream;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.sql.Connection;

import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.Statement;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.LinkedList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Random;

public class demo_SQLite {

private static Connection conn;
private static Statement state;
private static File db = new File("datafile");

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
Debug("Start DB!");
run();
}

private static void run() throws IOException {
try {
    if (!db.exists()) {
        db.createNewFile();
    }

    //run db driver
    Class.forName("org.sqlite.JDBC");
    conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlite:" + db);
    state = conn.createStatement();

    //check table 
    state.executeUpdate("create table if not exists a(id integer,"
            + "time INT,"
            + "primary key (id));");
    conn.setAutoCommit(false);

    // clear table if table not clear
    state.execute("DELETE FROM a");
    conn.commit();

    //make needed notes for db
    PreparedStatement prep = conn.prepareStatement("insert into a values(?,?)");
    for (int i = 0; i < 256; ++i) {
        int l = new Random().nextInt();
        prep.setInt(2, l);
    prep.execute();
    }
    conn.commit();
    prep.close();

    //reading notes for chek
    List<Integer> notes = new LinkedList<Integer>();
    ResultSet res = state.executeQuery("select * from a");
    while (res.next()) { int n = res.getInt("time"); notes.add(n); }
    res.close();            
    state.close(); 
    Debug("Done! ("+ notes.size() + ")");

    //write to a file for comparing the write speed
    Debug("Start File!");
    File file = new File("filebase");
    DataOutputStream dos = null;
    dos = new DataOutputStream
    (new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(file)));
    int r = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < 256; ++i) {
        r = new Random().nextInt();
        dos.writeInt(r);
    }
    dos.flush();
    dos.close();
    Debug("Done! (256)");

    //done! see log for result
} catch (Exception ex) { }
}

public static void Debug(String msg) {
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss.SSS");
Date date = new Date();
System.out.println("[" + sdf.format(date) + "][DEBUG]: " + msg);
}
}

result:

run:
[09:01:36.890][DEBUG]: Start DB!
[09:01:37.052][DEBUG]: Done! (256)

thanks for all for a answers! but if you have some considerations about this, please, welcome

I might try a different driver. Try the one that comes with mySQL : http://www.mysql.com/products/connector/

The name of the class that implements java.sql.Driver in MySQL Connector/J is com.mysql.jdbc.Driver.

  • Mike, apologize, i confused the name of the database, we are talking about sqlite, but anyway, thank you for the answer! – Jack Jul 07 '14 at 20:27
  • this is sqlite, sorry, what about for sqlite? i can't see another driver for sqlite, JDBC only – Jack Jul 07 '14 at 20:31
  • Not familiar with that DB, sorry. Maybe you should try MySQL :) – Mike Pone Jul 07 '14 at 21:20
  • seems, i found solution already, and seems is autocommit. thank you ) i update thread – Jack Jul 07 '14 at 21:24
  • mysql is great db, but it needed for some other things - sqlite elegance is that it does't require a DB separate server, it is what you need for most not large applications – Jack Jul 07 '14 at 21:30
