It seems to me that COPY fits > perfectly for your case, and would certainly make the load faster. well, more than one table needs to get populated and data is not really available in one file.

But what is your experience: is it possible that inserting the first 20000 records takes 29 seconds while inserting lot 20 (i.e. 9*20000 later) takes 186.9 sec? after all we are talking only about 200000 records? That take 6 times longer!! odd, anyone has an idea? greetings Eildert > > Regards,> -- > Matheus de Oliveira> > > > -- Eildert Groeneveld =================================================== Institute of Farm Animal Genetics (FLI) Mariensee 31535 Neustadt Germany Tel : (+49)(0)5034 871155 Fax : (+49)(0)5034 871143 e-mail: eildert.groenev...@fli.bund.de web: http://vce.tzv.fal.de ==================================================
