I have no triggers or rules. I have only created 1 table and their are no
foreign keys.

First I read the data from a 'Powerflex' file and hold this in a record set.
pfxstmt = pfxconn.createStatement();
pfxrs = pfxstmt.executeQuery("SELECT * from expafh");

I then perform a loop which writes the data to my 'Postgresql' file as
follows:
stmt = conn.createStatement();
while (pfxrs.next()) {
cmd = "INSERT INTO expafh VALUES ";
cmd = cmd +
"('"+pfxrs.getString(2)+"',"+pfxrs.getString(3)+",'"+pfxrs.getString(4)+"','
"+pfxrs.getString(5)+"')";
stmt.executeUpdate(cmd);
}

I have used identical code for all of my testing, the only changes being
which drivers I use to access the data.
