relative to direct filesystem reads. <p>When constructing the test data, trying varying the size of the blob. The performance advantage will shift toward direct filesystem reads as the size of blobs increase, since the cost of invoking open() and close() will be amortized over more bytes transferred using read(). The break-even point, the point where it becomes faster to read directly from the filesystem, will vary from one system to another. <p>The --blob-api option causes database reads to occur using the [sqlite3_blob_open()], [sqlite3_blob_reopen()], and [sqlite3_blob_read()] interfaces instead of using SQL statements. Without the --blob-api option, a separate SQL statement is run to read each blob and the performance of reading from the database is approximately the same as the performance from reading directly from files. |

The performance advantage will shift toward direct filesystem reads as the size of blobs increase, since the cost of invoking open() and close() will be amortized over more bytes transferred using read(). The break-even point, the point where it becomes faster to read directly from the filesystem, will vary from one system to another. In the other direction, reducing the blob size provide more advantage to database reads. With a 5 KB blob size, reading from the database is twice as fast and uses 60% less space than blobs stored as individual files. <p>The --blob-api option causes database reads to occur using the [sqlite3_blob_open()], [sqlite3_blob_reopen()], and [sqlite3_blob_read()] interfaces instead of using SQL statements.
