I'm using a 7.4.6 Perl app that bulk-loads a table, by executing a "COPY TMP_Message FROM STDIN", then letting $dbh->func($message_text."\n", "putline")
Speculation made me try catenating Several \n-terminated lines together, and making a single putline() call with that. Lo and behold, all the lines went in as separate rows, as I hoped. I haven't measured the performance difference using this multiline batching. I'm hoping that there will be as much,since the app is really sucking on a 500 msg/sec firehose, and the db side needs serious speeding up. Question is, am I playing with a version-dependent anomaly, or should I expect this to continue in 8.x (until, eventually, silently, something causes this to break)? I'm presuming that this is not a Perl DBI/DBD::Pg question, but rather, depending on the underlying pq lib and fe protocol. -- "Dreams come true, not free." ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
