"pgBee is a set of Java classes I wrote for automating bulk updates of Postgresql databases on Linux servers. It requires Java (doh!) and Ant (as a build/execute front-end), it is cronnable and performs very well, especially in multi-threaded mode, which takes full advantage of multi-core CPUs in modern servers."
inspiration for this has come from http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-jdbc/2007-04/msg00076.php and my own tests... until pgBee is hosted in pgFoundry, you may find the source code here: http://freeyourtech.wordpress.com/2008/09/16/pgbee-a-postgresql-bulk-updater-in-java/ comments, suggestions welcome Michael
