sqlite3 multi-line query
Post: #1
I have sqlite running fine in my iOS app, but am trying to increase performance and have run into a problem.
I thought putting multiple "INSERT" commands into a single string, preparing that statement, and performing sqlite3_step on that would be faster than performing many prepares for each "INSERT" command.
I programmatically construct a long string with a bunch of lines such as:
This is in an NSMutableString named sqlString, which I do the following to:
Both sqlite3_prepare_v2 and sqlite3_step are returning SQLITE_OK (which is code 101), but when I exit out of the app and completely reload it, none of the data has truly been written to disk.
I have escaped all the single quote ' characters in the string to be double single quotes ''... any ideas what might be going wrong?
Thanks!

Fantastic link, thanks so much! After some tweaking, took my queries from 55 seconds to 5! Embarrassed I never took the time to optimize this before... But glad it's there now!
