SQLite: How to Efficiently Handle Bulk Inserts with Foreign Key Constraints in Node.js?
I've looked through the documentation and I'm still confused about I've looked through the documentation and I'm still confused about I'm working on a Node.js application that uses SQLite to manage a relational database with several tables, including `users` and `orders`. I've set up foreign key constraints to link orders to users, but I'm running into issues when I try to perform bulk inserts into the `orders` table. Specifically, I get the following behavior when executing my insert operation: `SQLITE_CONSTRAINT: FOREIGN KEY constraint failed`. Here's the relevant part of my code where I prepare the bulk insert: ```javascript const sqlite3 = require('sqlite3').verbose(); const db = new sqlite3.Database('./mydb.sqlite'); const orders = [ { user_id: 1, product: 'Product A', quantity: 2 }, { user_id: 2, product: 'Product B', quantity: 1 }, { user_id: 3, product: 'Product C', quantity: 5 } ]; const insertOrders = (orders) => { const placeholders = orders.map(() => '(?, ?, ?)').join(', '); const sql = `INSERT INTO orders (user_id, product, quantity) VALUES ${placeholders}`; const values = orders.flatMap(order => [order.user_id, order.product, order.quantity]); db.run(sql, values, function(err) { if (err) { console.behavior('behavior inserting orders:', err.message); } else { console.log('Inserted ${this.changes} orders'); } }); }; insertOrders(orders); ``` I verified that all user_ids exist in the `users` table before running this, but I still encounter the constraint behavior. I've tried committing the inserts one by one in a loop, which works, but it's significantly slower than doing it in bulk. Additionally, I ensured that foreign keys are enabled with `PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON;` at the beginning of my script. Is there a more efficient way to handle this bulk insert while respecting the foreign key constraints? Any insights or alternative approaches would be greatly appreciated! This is for a CLI tool running on Windows 11. Thanks in advance! I'm working with Javascript in a Docker container on Ubuntu 22.04.
