Another option would be to do this in the DB Manager - ie use the SQLite engine directly, but you would have to recouch your Field Calculator expression as SQL.

Attribute! Used Field Calculator to split an attribute to get the zipcode into a standalone column. I then hit save and watched the fun.

And yes that seems to be it. Good, I'm not crazy (on this issue).

I'm working with Address point data. My typical process is to import the
data into PostGIS/Postgresql and work with it. I decided to work with
spatialite and do some data cleanup.

I have 222519 points. I made a change to all of them and hit save.
What change did you make? Attribute or geometry? How was this change made?

It possibly relates to this ongoing work: https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/4175

So for
the next 20 minutes I watched a very small journal file appear and disappear and QGIS just locked up until it was done. QGIS returned to normal and I'm
working along again.

So my question is - Can I avoid this happening easily or is this just a
"it's what happens with spatialite" problem? Am I missing a setting
somewhere?
