#19351 closed Bug (fixed)

Two SQLite issues with bulk_insert

Description

SQLite + bulk_insert has two issues:

  1. If you insert objects with same values for all fields the objects will be collapsed.
  2. If you insert more than 500 objects and the objects have just a single field a SQLite limit will be hit.

The first issue is technically a data-loss issue. However it isn't likely to be hit - it means you are inserting exactly similar objects in a same batch, and that isn't likely. A backpatch to 1.4 seems to be in place as the fix is trivial: use UNION ALL instead of UNION when constructing the insert query.

Patches available here and here.

Fixed SQLite's collapsing of same-valued instances in bulk_create

SQLite used INSERT INTO tbl SELECT %s UNION SELECT %s, the problem
was that there should have been UNION ALL instead of UNION.
