Were I doing such a conversion, I'd use perl to convert the xml into
something which COPY can grok. Any other language, script or compiled,
would work just as well. The goal is to avoid having to slurp the
whole
xml structure into memory.

The insertion into dabase is not very big problem.
I insert it as XML docs, or as varchar lines or as XML docs in varchar
format. Usually i use transaction and commit after block of 1000
inserts and it goes very fast. so insertion is over after few hours.
But the problem occurs when i want to transform it inside database
from XML(varchar or XML format) into tables by parsing.
That processing takes too much time in database no matter if it is
stored as varchar lines, varchar nodes or XML data type.

Are you saying you first load the xml into the database, then parse that
xml into instance of objects (rows in tables)?
