Can't you still apply them later ;) My own experimentation also got numbers in 9k/sec range (on a quad 1.3GHz Xeons, 2GM mem, 50MB/sec raid) when doing 10-20 parallel runs of ~1000 inserts/transaction. Performance dropped to ~300/sec (at about 60M rows) when I added an index (primary key) - as I did random inserts, the hit rates for index pages were probably low. -------------- Hannu ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
