Introduction to Wall Mode in SQLite and its Performance Benefits
- Wall mode is a Journal mode in SQLite that offers improved performance compared to rollback mode.
- Wall mode is set using the pragma Journal mode command in SQLite.
- Wall mode is recommended to be set before any data is inserted into the database.
- A benchmarking script is used to demonstrate the performance difference between wall mode and rollback mode.
- The benchmarking results show that wall mode is significantly faster than rollback mode, with read and write speeds being over 10 times faster.
- The benchmarking code includes simple SQL queries for writing and reading from a key-value store.
- The benchmarking code also demonstrates how wall mode performs well even with a high number of queries and processes.
- Wall mode in SQLite supports upserts with the on conflict update clause.
- Wall mode can be utilized to improve the performance of SQLite databases and impress friends with its advantages at parties.
Explanation of Rollback Journal and Write Ahead Log in SQLite
- SQLite database has two different modes: rollback journal and write ahead log.
- In rollback mode, when something is written to the database, the original data is copied and set aside before the new data is written. The journal is deleted or truncated when the commit is finished.
- Rollback mode ensures atomic commits and rollbacks, preventing half-finished writes or reads.
- In write ahead log (WAL) mode, the original data is left in place and the new data is written to a separate log file.
- Readers can continue reading the database while the writer writes to the WAL file.
- A checkpoint eventually merges the WAL file back into the database as a single file and deletes the WAL file.
- Readers query the WAL file to determine the last committed transaction, ensuring a consistent state.
- Write ahead log mode allows for higher throughput as readers can continue reading while the writer writes to the WAL file.
- The default journal mode in SQLite is "delete," but using write ahead log (WAL) mode is recommended for higher performance and consistency.
- Modern SQLite offerings typically suggest or require the use of WAL mode.
