SQLITE multiple insert example (50MB in 2.3s)

// I'd like a C++ code that uses sqlite3 library and performs multiple insertion
// into a table using transactions. Use BEGIN TRANSACTION and and END
// TRANSACTION
//
// Install lib:
// sudo apt-get install sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev sqlitebrowser
// Compile with:
// rm -f ./test.db && g++ main2.cpp -l sqlite3 -o main2 && time ./main2
// sqliteborwser ./test.db

#include <cstring>
#include <iostream>
#include <sqlite3.h>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main() {
  sqlite3 *db;
  sqlite3_stmt *stmt;
  int rc;

  // Open database
  rc = sqlite3_open("test.db", &db);

  if (rc) {
    cerr << "Error opening SQLite database: " << sqlite3_errmsg(db) << endl;
    return 1;
  }

  string createStmt = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS TestTable ("
                      "ID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,"
                      "Name TEXT NOT NULL,"

  // Prepare statement for inserting data
  string insertStmt = "INSERT INTO TestTable (Name, Age) VALUES (?, ?)";
