Re: PostgreSQL Performance issue

Hello there,

1. Try using COPY Command, you will see significant decrease in the loading
time.
2. Turn off auto commit and Remove foreign key constraints if it is only one
time load - this will also help in decreasing the load time.

Try these options and let us know how it went.

We load around 6M rows of data into a table using copy command it takes few
mins to load the data and system configuration is not that high too. Also
one more thing we use linux box over here.

Do a small test as to how long will it take to do 1000 inserts into a
similar table and send us your timings and definition of the table. I will
compare against mine.

Thanks
Deepak
