I also am trying to do a bulk load, but has to be written in Python. It is a two pass loading procedure, where the first pass could be done with the indexes turned off, and the second pass with them on. Is there a way to disable indexes momentarily and then turn them back on? Or can I manage the transactions to do saves in bulk in the first pass?
