Hello a) look on COPY statement and COPY API protocol - it can be 100x faster than INSERTS http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/libpq-copy.html
b) if you can't to use COPY use: * outer transaction - BEGIN, INSERT, INSERT ... COMMIT if this is possible * use a prepared statement http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/sql-prepare.html if you cannot to use a outer transaction, and you can to replay a process, if there are some problems, use a asynchronnous commit http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/wal-async-commit.html Regards Pavel Stehule 2011/7/7 sergio mayoral <smayo...@gmail.com>: > Hi, > i am using libpq library and postgresql 8.4 for my linux application running > on ARM with 256 MB.
