1178546862 I_kwDOCGYnMM5GPzKu 420 Document how to use a `--convert` function that runs initialization code first 770231 closed 0     12 2022-03-23T19:07:36Z 2022-08-28T11:34:37Z 2022-03-25T20:07:33Z NONE  

When I have an insert command with transform like this:

cat items.json | jq '.data' | sqlite-utils insert listings.db listings - --convert ' d = enchant.Dict("en_US") row["is_dictionary_word"] = d.check(row["name"]) ' --import=enchant --ignore

I noticed as the number of rows increases the operation becomes quite slow, likely due to the creation of the d = enchant.Dict("en_US") object for each row. Is there a way to share that instance d between transform function calls, like a shared context?
