How to bulk insert into SQLITE database?

Question

I am developing UWP application.

I have a database that should be initialized with about 20,000 records. The records, that are defined as follows:

p         


        

Answer 1

Try the InsertAll and UpdateAll functions. Hopefully this opens up the database table just once and inserts/updates everything at once. You will need to figure out which objects to insert/update ahead of time, but this should still really speed things up.

List updates = new List(); 

List inserts = new List();  

foreach ( var tickRecord in tickRecords ) 
{   
    if ( tickRecord.Id == 0 )
    {       
        updates.Add(tickRecord);
    }
    else
    {       
        inserts.Add(tickRecords);
     } 
}



using ( var db = new SQLiteConnection( new SQLitePlatformWinRT(), DbPath ) ) 
{
     db.InsertAll(inserts);
     db.UpdateAll(updates);
}
