The author doesn’t say a billion is 100 million. They say they’d like to be able to insert a billion, and say they’re able to insert 100 million. It’s not a contradiction.
- minitoar 5y agoOk but that is a rather clickbaity title. The title makes it sound like they are successfully doing that.
- dclowd9901 5y agoI agree. While the title reflects the eventual goal of the effort, the goal has yet to be achieved (and may or may not be achievable at all). I think it’s a bit irresponsible to use a title like that for a post that neglects to have achieved what was described in the title.
- sbarre 5y agoPerhaps "Working towards 1B rows in under a minute" would have been better.
- avinassh 5y agoHey, sorry for the misleading title. I started with ‘Fast SQLite Inserts’ and it had many iterations. In the title, I wanted to intend that I want to insert 1 billion rows under a minute on my machine. I thought the current title is fine, since I got LGTM for earlier drafts. The detail about on my machine is also important since mine is a two year old laptop and all the measurements are done on it. Also I got another feedback that title should indicate that it is a test database and emphasise that it is not durable. I am wondering the right way to convey all of this in the title yet also keep it short.
- scns 5y agoI hate hyperbole but i think the title is fine.
- minitoar 5y agoThanks for the explanation. I think it only needs a minor tweak. Maybe prefix with “trying to” or something like that. I am empathetic to the challenge of naming things concisely and accurately.
- avinassh 5y agoHey, I read all the suggestions and prefixed the title with "Towards ...". I hope it makes it clear now

- stevage 5y ago>I am wondering the right way to convey all of this in the title yet also keep it short. Add "trying": "Trying to insert 1 billion rows in SQL in under a minute". If anything it's more interesting because it implies the chance of failure.
- infogulch 5y agoPerhaps "Towards Inserting 1B Rows in SQLite in Under a Minute" would be a better title.
- avinassh 5y agoThanks for this suggestion and I have updated the title!

- chrisseaton 5y agoThere’s no need to be snarky. I didn’t write the title, I’m just explaining what the author means.
- fridif 5y agoI'm just memeing what it sounded like in my head, nothing personal
