[sqlite] the speed of embedded database engines, sqlite3 vs berkeley db, I'm confused

前端之家收集整理的这篇文章主要介绍了[sqlite] the speed of embedded database engines, sqlite3 vs berkeley db, I'm confused前端之家小编觉得挺不错的,现在分享给大家,也给大家做个参考。

our project is using sqlite3,but found that the speed is too slow.
I just tested the BerkeleyDB,and found that the speed is very fast. But I
knew the sqlite3 is fast enough. And so I'm confused.
I may be using sqlite3 in wrong way?
anyway,next is my test code. I'm glad to receive your message.

sqlite has edge over BDB:

1) code readability is not as clean and clear as sqlite
2) forums not sure if they are responsive as sqlite
3) sqlite is stable and does not crash on-restarts,bdb make uses of mmap and its behavIoUr is undefined under diskful condition. get sigbus sometimes,sometimes throws error.
4) sqlite supports vfs,hence u can write your own layer to meet performance
5) too many parameters to configure in bdb. sqlite is zero config system.
6) easy to extend for later inclusions of alter table,bdb is key-value system
7) footprint is very small of sqlite compared with bdb.
8) sqlite does not support row or table level concurrency but bdb supports it well.
9) DB file is os independednt.
My opinion is sqlite is painfree system.

Instead of using sqlite3_mprintf() and sqlite3_exec() for your insert
statements,try using prepared statements.

in your test code I see that you open the sqlite DB
each time you perform the single query.
I guess it would be fair to open the sqlite DB only once
outside your test loop.
2nd: You query against ID without an index,try either
define an index on ID or change your table definition
into "ID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY" which will have an index
on ID automatically,I think..



sqlte provides COMMIT and ROLLBACK unlike Berkeley. If you can get by
without the advanced features of sqlite,then use Berkely and take
advantage of its simplicity and faster execution.

Note that for best performance an sqlite application should group
database inserts,deletes and updates into transactions.

BDB does support transactions...

http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/xml/gsg_xml_txn/cxx/usingtxns.html

In fact,BDB acts as the (a) transactional layer in MysqL (the
alternative is InnoDB).

Of course,other advantages of sqlite still apply. A key-value
Metaphor can only be pushed so far.



Guess what make BDB run faster - no transactions. If you are not using
transactions BDB mght be for you. Personally as a long time user of BDB
in varIoUs ways I have a very poor opinion of it. It has a very
different application to sqlite.


thanks

I'm not sure of the real reason.
It's true that the speed of inserting with transaction is very fast. But my
project is using sqlite mainly in selecting something. I don't know how to
use transaction in the situation. May some friends give me some codes on
that?

My application needs some funcs that serve as the database API,so I must
encapsulate sqlite func in my func. It includes the basic routine like this:
1.) sqlite3_open();
2.) sqlite3_get_table(),sqlite3_exec()+callback,
sqlite3_prepare_v2()+sqlite3_step()+sqlite3_column*+sqlite3_finalize()
3.) sqlite3_close();

I found that every routine running in the object board (Atmel 9260 (200MHz)
+ 128M RAM + ...) spend 20 millisecond. It's too slow...

And I have tried some PRAGMA settings for example: cache_size/page_size,but
the effect is very few.



As someone else mentioned,you probably don't want to open/close the
database every time you do a single SELECT. In the example you're
doing 100,000 iterations of open/exec/close,which will give pretty
terrible performance.

Instead,try creating an initialization call,which opens the
database,prepare()s your SELECT stmt (with a '?' placeholder for the
ID in this example),and returns a handle to the caller. The caller
can then loop 100,000 times calling getdata() with this handle.
getdata() can just do sqlite3_bind_XXX() followed by sqlite3_step()
(and sqlite3_reset()),which will be _much_ faster than
sqlite3_exec().

Please see the documentation here:

http://sqlite.org/c3ref/funclist.html

You'll have something along the lines of (just a sketch,obvIoUsly):

typedef struct {
sqlite3 *db;
sqlite3_stmt *stmt;
} my_handle_t;

my_handle_t my_init() {
sqlite3_open();
sqlite3_prepare();
return handle;
}

void my_exec(my_handle_t handle,int id) {
sqlite3_bind_int();
/* Put in a loop or whatever: */
sqlite3_step();
/* After you've gotten all the result rows: */
sqlite3_reset();
}


Your caller would then call my_init() once to get a handle,then call
my_exec() a bunch of times using that handle. The way your example is
doing it,_every_ time through the loop it does an exec(),which
re-compiles the same sql code (which is not a fast operation).

There are plenty of other examples floating around on this mailing
list,I'm sure - just do some digging.

If he wants go faster he can use BEGIN TRANSACTION (EXCLUSIVE or other) before the 100,000 iterations. In this way sqlite doesn't lock the database file 100.000 times,but only 1 I don't know if he can use this trick,but maybe he can group 10,50 or 100 select into a TRANSACTION. Giacomo Mussati
