Hello,
I've got a table in an oracle database with approx. 100000 records, that
I'd like to put into a table in a postgresql database. (This should be
done a couple of times per week)
I have written a short perl script, on a server that has remote access
to both the oracle database as well as the postgresql database. I am
running postgresql 7.4.1 on FreeBSD.
My perl script looks something like this:
[...]
my $sth2 = $cnx2->prepare('SELECT * FROM oracle_table');
my $res2 = $sth2->execute();
while(my($field2,$field5,$field6) = ($sth2->fetchrow_array)) {
if(defined($field2)) {
my $sth = $cnx->prepare('INSERT INTO
the_pg_table(field1, field2) VALUES(?,?)');
my $result = $sth->execute($field2,$field5);
$sth->finish;
}
}
[...]
I runs fine - and I get no errors - but it takes almost 25 minutes to
complete.. I tried running the script while just grabbing the rows from
the oracle database and writing to a text file - and then it only takes
a couple of minutes .. So it must be the INSERT command that chokes - is
there a better way to do it ?
Any advise much appreciated.
