Re: Insert performance vs Table size

Praveen Raja:

I think the size of a table don't affect the speed of inserts into it.Because PostgreSQL just doing something like "append" on the data files.
But the index do speed-down the inserts. Because PostgreSQL should maintain the index when doing inserts.

hope this is useful for your question.
