Hi
I am failing to use bulk_create on one CentOS6 server. Inserting one record works as expected.
I bulk_create  success on Windows10 Py3.8, Ubuntu Py3.6/2.6 with the very same code.
What could make a difference there? Any hints appreciated
cheers

import datetime
import random
#from peewee.peewee import SqliteDatabase, Model, IntegerField
from peewee import SqliteDatabase, Model, IntegerField

class BaseModel(Model):
    sc_id = IntegerField() 


print("db SqliteDatabase")
test_db = SqliteDatabase(':memory:')
MODELS = [BaseModel]
test_db.bind(MODELS, bind_refs=False, bind_backrefs=False)
test_db.connect()
print("db connected")
test_db.create_tables(MODELS)

user0 = BaseModel(sc_id=1)
user0.save()
BaseModel.get()

users = [ BaseModel(sc_id=1),
  BaseModel(sc_id=2)]
  
  
with test_db.atomic():
BaseModel.bulk_create(users, batch_size=500)

read_list = BaseModel.select()
print(len(read_list))

Your sqlite is probably old and doesn't support inserting multiple rows at one time. I'd suggest updating the sqlite you have installed.

I tried the github master branch and the 3.13.3 tag. Both ended with the same  OperationalError. But the same code works on other machines. is there any change it could be due to the machine localization or the python versions 5.6.4 vs 5.6.9 ?

Or when it is data related I also tried to debug the peewee.py : The query that gets rendered is: 
INSERT INTO "user" ("sc_id", "name", "email", "type") VALUES (753, 'Yoshi', 'd...@ff.ff', 'sc_user'), (754, 'Yoshi2', 'd...@ff.ff', 'sc_user')

import sqlite
sqlite3.sqlite_version

This should tell you what version of sqlite you are running.

>>> import sqlite3
>>> sqlite3.sqlite_version
'3.6.20'

Yes, thanks.
This is probably the reason why my environments react differently. Thanks again!

That's the problem, as I stated in my original email to you.

Bulk insert wasn't added until 3.7.11
