Yea, of course in the real world you'd never use it that way, I've seen people baffled why the result set is returned out of order when they didn't specify an order. If there are multiple people using a database, sometimes the database may be in the middle of returning a resultset that is simil

Don't forget about a hidden feature of limitby! q = db1(db1.TABLE_A.ITEM_ID == db1.TABLE_B.id).select(cache=(cache.ram,600), cacheable=True, limitby=(0,100)) limitby by default does a sort on all the extracted field so you test also sorting times, keep that in mind! So what you probably wou

Thanks, its clearer now. (coming from a different environment, takes a while for aspects to sink it.) Have converted main tables off SQLite and reduced the updates down to a minute. Sorry about the db(query).update(**arguments) (didn't read it properly - wasn't actually my code ...) Apprec

Thanks Simone, A little more on this. Seems to to be an issue with windows consuming memory and grinding the system to semi halt. The characteristic isn't there in Linux. (ubuntu under vmware hosted by win7) Are you sure on db(query).update(**arguments) ? (seems to fall over with too many

ps: that being said, it would be better to do this using an executesql statement and let the backend do the job update table_a set field_a1 = field_b1, from table_a inner join table_b on table_b.id = table_a.item_id unfortunately SQLite doesn't allow update statements with joins (but a ser

np, confirmed that there are no leaks involved, the second point was more or less "am I doing it right?" my issue with the tests not being viable is that if speed matters, the example needs to be as close to reality as possible to help you figure out "the best way to do it". For example an inde

Ok, here's the reality. Benchmarking on 10k records (either method), you get a through put of approximately 100 records a second (should complete in 1.5 hours). The row.update completes in 3.5 hours. The update_or_insert takes > 7 hours. (with available memory maxed out, no caching involved.

next time post something close to reality, or reproducing it leads to nowhere. Speed and memory-wise (not leak, but still...), use a straight update() over update_record. BTW, what I still don't understand is you comparing update_or_insert to row.update_record they do very different things.

Thanks Niphlod Yep, sorry for the typos (@ 4am the brain doesn't function correctly). Main point was to describe the 2 methods. (*update_or_insert *and *row.update_record*) Actual code would have been too heavy. Routines were tested with limitby=(0,1000) in the selects. Caching only involved i

I think what you see what is not leak but a memory increase. You are simply putting lots of data in cache.ram. In web2py cache always increases unless you clear it. It does not run in constant memory. On Tuesday, 21 May 2013 11:35:14 UTC-5, Simon Ashley wrote: > > Experiencing memory leaks when

using the first method without cache (see below, it seems unuseful) no leaks at least in ubuntu. 30k records updated/inserted in a little less than 5 minutes. storage.db is roughly 2 GB. Memory usage is 400MB, give or take. the second method is incorrect as posted ... maybe there are a few typos

500k records for 2 tables (total 1M) on SQLite, heavy update scenario.. I really hope you'll manage that outside the normal web environment to avoid timeout issues that are likely to happen. I'll try to reproduce though. On Tuesday, May 21, 2013 6:35:14 PM UTC+2, Simon Ashley wrote: > > Expe
