I need to save text files (let say between 1 KB to 20 MB) in a SQLite DB.
I see two possibilities:
1) save all the content in a single column:
create table content(id integer not null primary key,
text blob not null);
2) split the content in lines:
create table line(content integer not null,
line integer not null,
text blob not null,
primary key(content, line));
Some queries will need to extract the whole file, while other queries
will need to extract the text for a range of lines.
According to your experience it is better/faster the first option, the
second option or a smarter option I've not considered?
My partial considerations are:
- 1 is simpler
- 1 leads to faster load
- 1 is slower to retrieve a range of lines (not 100% sure)
