Hi there,
I need a simple but large table with several million records. I do batch
inserts with JDBC. After the first million or so records,
the inserts degrade to become VERY slow (like 8 minutes vs initially 20
secondes).
The table has no indices except PK while I do the inserts.
This is with PostgreSQL 8.0 final for WindowsXP on a Pentium 1.86 GHz,
1GB Memory. HD is fast IDE.
I already have shared buffers already set to 25000.
I wonder what else I can do. Any ideas?
Kindest regards,
Wolfgang Gehner
