Hello,
I'm reading from a table in the database to fetch some path to files to import. I do a loop for each path, and for each .csv file, I update another table. All works perfect, but it takes lot of time, 90 files and aprox. 2.000.000 rows. After adding transactions, the speed has been great, 400% faster. Now, as I see I have to specify the table for wich the transaction occur, where I have to use, the firsst table (where I fetch the path to files) or from the other one ? I update the path file row with a timestamp, rows created/updated/... , so if I problem occurs with some file, I don't want to update their status as done nor having any new data in the other table. for your info: table master => has the path files table dades => has de data database backend => sqlite (only has only one transaction, and not per table, per database) thanks, raimon code: ---------------------------- def import_file_nc8_ajax @txt_to_return = "" @txt_rows_imported = 0 # delete all the rows in Master for nc8 ... @result = Arxiu.find_by_sql('DELETE FROM masters') @txt_to_return += "<p><b>Deleted all rows from NC8 table</b></p>" @columns = Arxiu.content_columns # id, nc8, nacer @file_paths=Arxiu.find(:all, :conditions => 'kind="nc8"') require 'csv' for arxiu in @file_paths @rows_per_file = 0 begin Master.transaction do CSV.open(arxiu.file_path, "r") do |row| @data_new=Master.new @data_new.nc8 = row[0] @data_new.nacer = row[1] @data_new.save @txt_rows_imported += 1 @rows_per_file += 1 end # CSV.open... do end # transaction rescue end # begin arxiu.update_last=Time.now() arxiu.update_rows = @rows_per_file arxiu.save end @txt_to_return += "<p><b>Successfully created " + @txt_rows_imported.to_s + " rows </b></p>" @txt_to_return += "<p><b>from " + @file_paths.size.to_s + " files </b></p>" render(:text => @txt_to_return) end # import_file_nc8_ajax -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. _______________________________________________ Railsi18n-discussion mailing list Railsi18n-discussion@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/railsi18n-discussion
