Hello,

i'm using the trial version in Delphi 10 an get heavy performance problems with a really simple test:

Var
	I:Integer;
begin
        UniConnection1.Connected:=True;
	uniQuery1.SQL.Text:='INSERT INTO ott (Name, Number, Date) VALUES  (:Name, :Number, :Date)';
	For I:=0 to 100 do
  Begin
    uniQuery1.ParamByName('Name').asString:='UniDac ' + IntToStr(I);
    uniQuery1.ParamByName('Number').asInteger:=I;
    uniQuery1.ParamByName('Date').AsFloat:=Now;
    uniQuery1.ExecSQL;
  End;

It take about 9 seconds to execute!
If I use exact the same code using FireDac it takes about 100ms!

I doesnt change the default options of the connections.

If I use StartTransaction it get much faster, but why is it without so much slower as FireDac?

Edit:
I tried to discover the reason the last hour... No success...
Excuting on an other Windows 7 x64 pc uniDac is almost equal to FireDac even without using Transactions!
I tried to use direct=true to be sure not to use a bad sqLite3.dll on my system... No difference! I build an Release exe and deploy all needed bpls to a folder and execute it.... Same results: Inserting 100 Rows takes about 9 sec.
What can be wrong with my system? I never had bad perfomance issues with any other tasks.

Thanks for answering...

Default SQLite settings are oriented not to high performance, but to data security. This explains the difference in performance between UniDAC and FireDAC: in FireDAC, the Locking_Mode parameter is Exclusive by default (PRAGMA locking_mode=EXCLUSIVE), and Synchronous=None (PRAGMA synchronous=0). Thus, for correct comparison of UniDAC and FireDAC performance, you should set identical parameter values for both products. See more details about how SQLite settings affect performance in our blog:

Yes, I'm aware of the pragmas and their meaning. Due the speed difference was factor 900 I researched for problems in my system. As I moved the database file to an external USB drive the speed of Unidac got similar to firedac. Strange thing because I never noticed performance problems... Anyway, it is not UniDac...

Yes, indeed, according to your code, when you use UniDAC default settings, the used hardware specifics affect SQLite interaction performance
