# Best Practices

## Best Practices


1. **Scan before processing** - Always inventory first
2. **Use SQLite timeout** - `timeout=30` for concurrent access
3. **Batch commits** - Commit every 500 files
4. **Handle errors gracefully** - Log and continue on failures
5. **Export for review** - Generate CSV/HTML for stakeholders
6. **Update incrementally** - Use `INSERT OR REPLACE`
