[sqlite] Working with very large data sets from a single process/batch perspective
This is a continuation of the "SQLite vs. Oracle (parallelized)" thread with a request to learn how others are using SQLite with very large data sets. The context of this post is processing large data sets from a single process perspective, eg. this question is being asked from a batch data processing vs. multi-user perspective. 1. In browsing the archives, it seems that one technique is to split or partition large data sets into separate SQLite databases that can be loaded and indexed independently of one another (possibly via separate processes on the same box or on separate boxes). It appears that some people have written their own front-ends to manage how records are inserted and/or read from a collection of SQLite databases. 2. Another technique appears to be to run SQLite on boxes with lots of memory and then configure SQLite to make optimal use of available memory. Are there other techniques that one should consider and/or what techniques should one avoid?

Re: [sqlite] SQLite vs. Oracle (parallelized)
Alexey, Thank you for your reply and for sharing your success with SQLite. I'm excited by your results (60x faster). On an informal basis, we've been going back and re-benchmarking some of our old, 'traditional' (Oracle/Informatica) ETL/DW projects and we now believe the majority of these systems could be simplified and made faster by using alternative techniques based on in-memory data processing (definitely) and/or SQLite (we still need to test). Your approach of splitting large data sets sounds similar to what other SQLite users with large data sets seem to be doing. At a high level, this sounds like how one would partition data using Oracle? I'm going to start a new thread on this topic. > With your hardware I think 100Gb dataset is not limit. Good news.

Re: [sqlite] SQLite vs. Oracle (parallelized)
Allan, Thanks for your reply. I'm new to SQLite, but have used a similar list of databases (with an emphasis on server vs. client side databases) professionally for years. My background is designing and building enterprise BI, ETL, and data warehouse systems using databases like Oracle, DB2, SQL Server and ETL tools like Informatica, Ab Initio, BO Data Integrator, etc. My goal is to be able to offer our customers cost effective, high performance alternatives to traditional commercial ETL solutions. We recently re-implemented a mid-sized Oracle/Informatica based ETL system in Python using in memory data structures (dicts) and improved the performance by a factor of 20x. We're now looking to expand this approach to SQLite for environments where the volume of data is greater than available memory. > When you talk about performance comparisons your question really needs to be > squared up to what the database is used for.

In this context, SQLite would be run on 64-bit Intel servers with lots of RAM (16-64 Gb). The data would be stored/processed on server local SCSI drives vs. located on a SAN. File access would be via a single process per SQLite database. The interface language would most likely be Python. > The reality is I BET and I would love to know myself Sqlite is just as fast > on inserts to the same hard drive as oracle.

Subtle point here ... I'm not looking for a long term data storage solution - I'm exploring the possibility of using SQLite as a way to validate, transform, and pre-aggregate raw data that would in turn be exported to raw text files and imported (in final form) to a customer's data warehouse. > Sometimes that choice is Sqlite, but in some cases it is Oracle instead.

Most computers these days are multi-core. Oracle has done some excellent work adding support for parallel processing of many database activities. It would be great to see SQLite be able to exploit the extra processing power of multiple cores. This is not a request for handling multiple simultaneous transactions - it is a request to have single transactions be processed across multiple cores. Oracle also supports a rich mix of partitioning features. Partitioning allows one to divide a table and/or index into logical subsets that allow additional query optimizations. Partitioning is also useful for quickly dropping a logical subset of data, eg. if you've partitioned data by month, you can quickly drop your oldest month of data by dropping its partition vs. performing a massive number of individual deletes, followed by a vacuum. Finally, partitions can also support parallelization tasks such as loading large data sets (each partition can be loaded and optionally indexed independently of others) and for building partial result sets for SQL selects (each partition can be queried independently of other partitions). Another interesting Oracle feature is compression. Oracle's compression techniques not only compress data, but also speed up many types of selects. Thinking-out-loud: I wonder if some of Oracle's parallelization and partitioning features could be emulated by creating a physical SQLite database for each logical partition; loading large logical tables quickly by using a separate process to load each 'partition specific' SQLite database, and then creating a high-level code library to translate a high-level SQL commands (insert, update, delete, select) into multiple, 'partition specific' SQLite commands that get executed in parallel. In the case of parallel selects, the intermediate results would be cached to partition specific SQLite databases and then unioned together by a master controlling process to create a logical cursor for processing. Is anyone using similar techniques with very large SQLite tables/databases? Malcolm ___ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users

Dr. Hipp, When you say "SQLite is way faster than Oracle in a single-user applications" do you mean that SQLite can be faster than Oracle even when Oracle's parallel processing features are being used? For example Oracle's support for parallelization can speed up table loading from an external data source, certain SQL selects, and certain indexing operations. Are there any plans to enhance SQLite to support some of Oracle's parallel processing or partitioning capabilities?

[sqlite] Open SQLite database without storing database on disk?
Is it possible to open a SQLite database without physically storing the SQLite database file on disk? Background: Customer has application that generates SQLite databases with proprietary pricing information. They would like their users to download these databases from their SSL secured website and open them (readonly in memory) without ever storing an image of the physical SQLite file on disk. Our application downloads these database files directly to memory where they are currently stored as a binary string. The only solution I can think of is to download raw text files to memory and parse these strings to fill an in memory database. Sounds like a lot of unnecessary extra work on both ends (server and client) to replace what is essentially the ability to open an in memory SQLite database from an image stored in a string vs. disk.
