What is your database ID?

I've just send you a DM.

Are other queries working, and only that specific migration failing?

I don't know if other migrations will work, as our deployment is currently on hold due to this failing migration.

If you run the same (or similar) statement in the D1 console does it work or also fail?

I haven't tried that because I don't want to break Production. Our CI/CD deploys the new (compatible) worker versions directly after the migration.

why we cant just have normal sql connections

D1 is built on top of SQLite. There is no "normal SQL connections" because unlike Postgres/MySQL/SQL Server, SQLite DBs are normally used locally and have no connection protocol or way to connect remotely.

Devils•1/15/25, 8:54 PM

I suppose thats true, but I've seen custom middleware for connecting remotely before.

Devils•1/15/25, 8:55 PM

I guess D1 is nice for testing/developing though.

lambrospetrouOP•1/15/25, 9:32 PM

As others said, SQLite doesn't have "normal" connections. Even if you use standard SQLite in your own local application you need extra layer to expose that over the network. That's the D1 HTTP API (albeit slow at the moment for reasons), and the Workers API to access that database from your Worker regardless of where it runs.

At the moment D1 really has value if you use it with Workers, otherwise you tradeoff a lot of things, so it depends what you want to do with it. If you mainly want to use it from outside Workers, and you also care about latency, then it's not ideal right now.

lambrospetrouOP•1/15/25, 11:17 PM

Query time is the raw SQL execution time.
Response time in the D1 console UI is NOT the performance you will get when using D1 in your worker code. Our REST API now flows through our central datacenters for auth reasons, therefore it's slow. That response time is the total time to send the query and get the result back to your browser.
When you use D1 from your worker the latency will be pretty much as much as the latency for 1 round trip from your location to your database location + the query time you see above.

I really suggest checking your database insights for your queries. If you are on a FREE plan, we will soon enforce limits, and the above usage is definitely above those limits. So, to avoid any breakage in your application, tune them before that time comes.

Bulbasaur•1/16/25, 3:46 PM

Hi, I’m wondering if there’s any news regarding d1 becoming actually distributed?

My company has been early adopters since ~2 years ago during the beta, but unfortunately it not actually being distributed has been a persistent latency issue for us.

Combined with db round trips (even with smart placement) being consistently high latency, has led us to have to move to Postgres. We notice that “cold start” times and round trips are consistently better from across the globe, even with a single Postgres instance in us-east :/

Bulbasaur•1/16/25, 3:48 PM

With something like AWS DSQL coming down the pipe for truly serverless, multi region active Postgres viable, it’s becoming harder to justify D1 which hasn’t improved much in this realm…

lambrospetrouOP•1/16/25, 3:54 PM

D1 latencies dropped almost half over the past few weeks, when using the Workers API (not the REST API).
Read replication is coming in the next few weeks/months, when it's fully tested and ready.

If you are accessing D1 through a Worker now, you should be having competitive latencies with accessing a centralized database in a single region, unless your compute is also in the same region. There is no magic for speed of light.

Combined with db round trips (even with smart placement) being consistently high latency, has led us to have to move to Postgres. We notice that “cold start” times and round trips are consistently better from across the globe, even with a single Postgres instance in us-east :/

Can you provide any comparison metrics for this? If you use smart placement and have enough traffic, latencies now should be very similar between D1 and a postgres in a single location.
Are you using Hyperdrive with Postgres, or purely over the network?

FFlikTeoh This would only improve read latency and not write, am I right?

Ashkan•1/18/25, 11:20 AM

There are some challenges for write operation when talking about replicas, the main challenge is data consistency and data corruption so always there is a layer of synchronization for write operation that's in contradiction with replica main goal. as the result, replicas primary are introduced for read operations when there is not data consistency issue. (it is my opinion and I am not as a part of CF team)

o7•1/18/25, 3:44 PM

I have a query:

SELECT * FROM objects WHERE userId = ?1 AND tag = ?2 ORDER BY created DESC LIMIT ?3 OFFSET ?4

SELECT * FROM objects WHERE userId = ?1 AND tag = ?2 ORDER BY created DESC LIMIT ?3 OFFSET ?4

This query works perfectly for me but it is inefficient even if I have indexes on

userId

userId

and

tag

tag

For example if my

LIMIT

LIMIT

was 100 I would expect 100

rows_read

rows_read

without the order, but with the order it shows every object in the tag x 2 (i.e. 600 rows_read for 300 existing objects with the tag).... Any way to optimize this? Or another way to order it in descending order without reading the entire index?

lambrospetrouOP•1/18/25, 5:05 PM

That's not correct. SQLite has to read rows of its indexes as well to figure out which rows you want. It's very rare that your

LIMIT

LIMIT

will be the total number of rows the actual SQLite query will process. Keep in mind, indexes do count as rows read/written themselves too.

In order to optimize your queries, run it once with the prefix

EXPLAIN

EXPLAIN

and see what SQLite tells you will do, you can do this in the D1 Console UI too. This is the most reliable way to see what index you are missing.

Max (@rozenmd)•1/18/25, 5:19 PM

LIMIT means limit the number of rows returned to X, not limit the number of rows scanned

Llambrospetrou > For example if my LIMIT was 100 I would expect 100 rows_read without the order...

o7•1/18/25, 8:51 PM

yes, upon further testing (OFFSET not at 0), it shows more rows_read than the LIMIT.

But the explain query plan shows I'm using the correct index and its just the ORDER that's reading every row with the tag (twice)

o7•1/18/25, 8:54 PM

if no optimizations can be made with an index then its fine since it gives me an excuse to rewrite this part with a search function :p

EElliot Hesp Any change d1 will ever support transactions?

lambrospetrouOP•1/19/25, 4:51 PM

The reason we don't support transactions right now is that because D1 is a remote database, if you were doing multiple round trips in your worker code to the database within a transaction, your throughput would probably be extremely low, since you would be blocking the entire database waiting for 1 worker.

Each query right now is a transaction, e.g. all queries within a batch all run within a transaction.

森

森@VerseLink (RW)•1/19/25, 4:52 PM

yeh that's what i imagined too, though there seems not to have news with workers running on the same machine with D1 to run transaction (I remembered I was hype when that was "hopefully planned"), but I think DO replaces that kind of well (except we get charged by execution time lol)

lambrospetrouOP•1/19/25, 4:53 PM

Running on the same machine as sqlite, IS literally the SQLite DOs. If that's what your usecase needs, to intermix logic with lots of back and forth to the database, then SQLite DOs are more suitable than D1, right now at least.
