SQLite's WAL mode is significantly faster than the rollback mode. Let me show you why!

Heya nerd!

[@knowledgedose1956]

Hey nerd 🤝🏻

[@yungifez]

Didnt know you were laravel

[@haradalucas]

I thought Laravel would've default my DB to WAL mode, but turns out it didn't. I've since fixed it thanks to this video :)

[@ahmad-murery]

I feel the need to open up a SQLite DB and play with it 😎
Thanks Aaron!

[@The_Wookiee]

Is fun.

[@vikingthedude]

I love kicking it back with the boys and talking about men’s favourite topics: sports, boobs and sqlite

[@kasmanialisaad]

The course is amazing. Highly recommend it. Can’t wait for the last modules!

Now I can be the coll guy explaining WAL mode to all the people! Thank you!

[@SimoneFolador]

Thanks Aaron! I didn't know the details of WAL mode. I will definitely check it out on my projects. Great video, as always!

[@CapitaineToinon]

Relatable opening

[@theSlavenIvanov]

Superb video quality as always!

[@Majiy00]

Great video, you really deserve more views and subscriber 😊😊

[@davidharting3119]

Watching this while enjoying a nice cold water

[@mortjac]

What a wonderful dinner story. And BTW, the storyteller isn’t bad either 😅
I saw all your videos in your preparation phase, and I’m delighted to see your take on SQLite wal- mode.
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉

[@Michielofzo]

Intro cracked me up

[@tiagorodrigues_br]

What an excellent video!!

[@mme725]

I would love to see this benchmark ran with all 6 journal modes. (Obviously OFF wouldn't be useful for production, but it would be an interesting point of comparison)

[@julianjackson8756]

Thanks for that

[@nullzeon]

I literally level up as a dev everytime I watch! love it here! TryHard Studios! ❤❤❤

[@TomNook.]

BLAZINGLY

[@OldKing11100]

Excellent baseline test. If you don't mind me asking: What is your take on the future of WAL2 + CONCURRENT for SQLite?

[@Kane0123]

Classic cold water conversation - SQLite config options.

[@jesper.ordrup]

Extremly clear explanarion of Wal. Thanks 🎉
Have u tried pocketbase?

[@AhmedSalah-xm9xu]

Hey Aaron, are you going to continue streaming the development of your life OS?
I really enjoyed the content. Keep up the great work👍👍👍

[@aarondfrancis]

Yes for sure!

[@sudhanshubhagwat9538]

Hi Aaron, loving the course. Is there purchase power parity for buying the course for India? Would love to buy the course. Keep up the good work

[@aarondfrancis]

Yes, it's listed in the FAQ!

[@davidguilherme5574]

Is there a benchmark between a tuned sqlite vs postgres or mysql in the same machine?

[@zacharyquinn3676]

What terminal is that?

[@jannismilz]

Would it be possible to get your benchmarking code as well?
Anyways, thanks for this awesome content!

[@aarondfrancis]

@@jannismilz yes I'll make a video!

[@N3m3s7s83]

Amazingly explained. But the question is ... Why wal mode is not the default mode? 😮

[@daknyx1448]

for backwards compatibility (the maintainers see it as highest priority)

[@australianman8566]

does anyone know wehere I can find the bench marking script?

[@vlad981]

Hi, nice video. Although 10x read seems like due to the some php driver optimization or testing methodology, as wal mode not supposed to incense reads, as specified in official site.
In out app, where like 95-97% reads, we don’t notice any difference between 2 modes

[@kirayamato6128]

love you Aaron 💘😍

[@rahmanramsi]

i need the code to try it myself

[@fredericoneto1984]

wanna share that Bench.php ? would be usefull to tweak it to test more DB's

[@davidsiewert8649]

You are going to some very strange parties.

[@rudiedirkx]

Can you benchmark journal_mode = off too? Is that even way very much faster?

[@adampatterson]

I'd love to see something on Enums and modifying enums with SQLite.
I wanted to test my app with SQLite but the migrations exploded and I didn't feel like modifying client work for the test 😬
But maybe it's a good topic?

[@AbhinavKulshreshtha]

Is the script on github? I was surprised to see a PHP script. Now I need to take a good look at the whole script.

[@davidharting3119]

Do you need to run the pragma to set WAL mode every time a process connects to SQLite? Or is it a durable config?

[@ricky2629]

It's a one time thing, you only need to do it when you initially create the db

[@davidharting3119]

Awesome thanks!

[@luismex5575]

Why we stop seeing you fron planetscale videos ?

[@aarondfrancis]

I got laid off

[@luismex5575]

​@aarondfrancis sorry to hear that, your videos of MySQL were the best , I think they made a mistake

[@njordhoder]

Haha the intro 😂

[@kevinbatdorf]

When not to use WAL mode?

[@OldKing11100]

Server is subject to random poweroff creating corruption.

[@aarondfrancis]

WAL mode is safe through power loss! I can't think of a single reason to not use WAL anymore

[@OldKing11100]

@@aarondfrancis Nice. I thought there was still a chance of the WAL file getting corrupted during write, but it probably just does a discard on the bad write when reconnecting the DB.

WAL mode should be a paid feature, im suprised its included in the lite plan

[@patelmalavdev]

Wal mode is reason why sqlite took resurgence and sqlite is public domain code.
The team behind get paid other ways providing exclusive services and support

[@night23412]

@@patelmalavdev I think it's a joke about the lite in sqlite

[@patelmalavdev]

@@night23412 ah
Though I always thought SQLite was a open source project but
It's just a company making it and giving away for free

[@PainHardcore]

php? Seriously?

[@aarondfrancis]

Yeah, what about it
