    Source code:

    void CentralMachiningInfo::setValue(const MachiningInfoRow::T row, const QVariant value, int32_t role)
    {
        QWriteLocker locker(&modelLock);
        QModelIndex index = model->index(row, MachiningInfoColumn::Value);
        if (model->data(index, role) != value) {
            QElapsedTimer timer;
            timer.start();
            model->setData(index, value, role);
            int64_t elapsedBuffer = timer.elapsed();
            qDebug() << __func__ << elapsedBuffer;
        }
    }
    

    Debug output:

    setValue 92
    setValue 67
    setValue 77
    setValue 72
    setValue 82
    setValue 69
    setValue 74
    setValue 76
    setValue 71
    setValue 72
    setValue 69
    setValue 71
    setValue 82
    setValue 69
    setValue 71
    setValue 72
    setValue 76
    setValue 69
    setValue 72
    setValue 82
    setValue 76
    setValue 71
    setValue 81
    setValue 84
    setValue 91
    setValue 84

    Don't forget: setData() may be doing more than just writing a value to the database. For example, it raises a dataChanged() signal, and if you have a view slotted to that (and using the default DirectConnection) you will be timing the whole of the view's response code here.... At minimum you might disable Qt signals for the duration. That's why I said profiling would be the best way to see what is really going on.

      This looks fishy...

        Oh yes I didn't notice that! Could be making a huge difference!

        @tovax
        Comment that out for a start and see whether it is making any difference?

          There is no difference after commenting out "QWriteLocker".

            I don't see why you need it at all - that's why I pointed it out.

              @Christian-Ehrlicher Hi, thank you very much, this class was a singleton class in the previous version, and the current version does not require a read-write lock.

                So your previous implementation was wrong - you must not access the gui from without the main thread :)

                    @JonB I have checked the signals and slots of the database and there is no connection during the reading and writing test.

                      @tovax To find out whether the write itself is slow you should omit the model and write directly using QSqlQuery.

                        Well I'm not sure what you want us to say here? At your timings you can achieve ~15 write operations per second. I would not be very happy with this!

                        Try:

                                timer.start();
                                for (int = 0; i < 10; i++)
                                {
                                    model->setData(index, value, role);
                                    // change `index` and/or `value`
                                }
                                int64_t elapsedBuffer = timer.elapsed();
                        

                        Does this take 10x as long??

                        I have checked the signals and slots of the database and there is no connection during the reading and writing test.

                        So you have no views at all attached to the model?

                          @JonB Hi, thank you very much for your patience.

                          1. It takes 10x time.
                          2. no views attached to the model.
                          3. My purpose is to know how many milliseconds it takes for the database to read and write normally, ~ 80ms seems to be too long, I doubt my program.
                          4. I created a demo program separately, and the reading and writing speed is very fast. I will reply to the final test results later.

                            Thank you for your help. The reason for the slow speed should be the hard disk. The same demo takes about 80 ms for HDD and about 4 ms for SSD.
