Hi, I have a program that need to send a Postgresql database a lot of
rows, i'm doing it using FOR an INSERT, something like this
for i = 0 to 1000
{
 insert into table(item1) VALUES (i);
}

And so on, as you can imagine these consume a lot of resources and
move so slowly, that's why I'm looking for a command to send more than
one row at the time, something like

insert into table (item1) values ('1' / '2' / '3' / '4' ... / '1000');

You can do instead:


insert into table (item1) values ('1');
insert into table (item1) values ('2');
....
insert into table (item1) values ('1000');

As single query.

But better use COPY command or prepared statment.

Inserts slow commonly due to indexis and foreing keys.
