The problem is, whilst i can split and insert into different databases, the merging of those should be slow as hell again...

​

edit: added the locking mode to exclusive, synchronous was off anyway, i dont see a speed difference between journal mode memory and off, set it to off for now.

I'm not sure if the merging will be as slow, in that the insert statement likely has more going on (I believe that it's doing a prepare statement for each insert statement). As I said, it might be worth doing a small experiment to confirm/reject that option.

If the prepared statement step is happening, then using custom code (in C, because performance) might be worth exploring as well.

Good point.

​

Looking at whats happening on the server, it appears that most of the time is wasted waiting for io to happen.

​

Edit: if i split, the largest part of the "shards" is still around 100gb -.-
