Hi, I've downloaded the latest release (PostgreSQL 8.0) for windows. Installation was OK, but I have tried to restore a database. It had more than ~100.000 records. Usually I use PostgreSQL under Linux, and it used to be done under 10 minutes.
Under W2k und XP it took 3 hours(!) Why is it so slow???? The commands I used: Under Linux: (duration: 1 minute) pg_dump -D databasename > databasename.db Under Windows: (duration: 3 - 3.5 hours(!)) psql databasename < databasename.db >nul It seemed to me, that only 20-30 transactions/sec were writen to the database. I need to write scripts for automatic (sheduled) database backup and recovery. Help anyone?
