Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: Yes, above microbenchmarks measure the time of execute() + the time of fetching one row. Here is more precise microbenchmarks.
$ ./python -m timeit -s "import sqlite3; con = sqlite3.connect(':memory:'); con.execute('create table t (a, b)')" -s "for i in range(100): con.execute('insert into t values (1, 2)')" -- "con.execute('select * from t').fetchall()" 1000 loops, best of 3: 624 usec per loop $ ./python -m timeit -s "import sqlite3; con = sqlite3.connect(':memory:'); con.row_factory = sqlite3.Row; con.execute('create table t (a, b)')" -s "for i in range(100): con.execute('insert into t values (1, 2)')" -- "con.execute('select * from t').fetchall()" 1000 loops, best of 3: 915 usec per loop $ ./python -m timeit -s "import sqlite3; con = sqlite3.connect(':memory:'); con.row_factory = sqlite3.NamedTupleRow; con.execute('create table t (a, b)')" -s "for i in range(100): con.execute('insert into t values (1, 2)')" -- "con.execute('select * from t').fetchall()" 100 loops, best of 3: 6.21 msec per loop Here sqlite3.Row is about 1.5 times slower than tuple, but sqlite3.NamedTupleRow is about 7 times slower than sqlite3.Row. With C implementation of lru_cache() (issue14373) the result is much better: 100 loops, best of 3: 3.16 msec per loop And it will be even more faster (up to 1.7x) when add to the Cursor class a method which returns a tuple of field names. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13299> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
