I'm trying to load data into a simple table, and it is taking many hours (and still not done). I know hardware, etc., can have a big effect, but NOTHING should have this big an effect.
===== us-gii >show create table t_dmu_history\G *************************** 1. row *************************** Table: t_dmu_history Create Table: CREATE TABLE `t_dmu_history` ( `t_dmu_history_id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `DM_History_DM_ID` int(11) DEFAULT NULL, `DM_History_Customer_ID` int(11) DEFAULT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`t_dmu_history_id`), KEY `DM_History_DM_ID` (`DM_History_DM_ID`), KEY `DM_History_Customer_ID` (`DM_History_Customer_ID`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=1446317 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 ===== Here's a snip of what the input file looks like: ===== SET autocommit=1; # # Dumping data for table 'T_DMU_History' # INSERT INTO `T_DMU_History` (`DM_History_DM_ID`, `DM_History_Customer_ID`) VALUES (13071, 299519); INSERT INTO `T_DMU_History` (`DM_History_DM_ID`, `DM_History_Customer_ID`) VALUES (13071, 299520); INSERT INTO `T_DMU_History` (`DM_History_DM_ID`, `DM_History_Customer_ID`) VALUES (13071, 299521); INSERT INTO `T_DMU_History` (`DM_History_DM_ID`, `DM_History_Customer_ID`) VALUES (13071, 299522); INSERT INTO `T_DMU_History` (`DM_History_DM_ID`, `DM_History_Customer_ID`) VALUES (13071, 299524); INSERT INTO `T_DMU_History` (`DM_History_DM_ID`, `DM_History_Customer_ID`) VALUES (13071, 299526); INSERT INTO `T_DMU_History` (`DM_History_DM_ID`, `DM_History_Customer_ID`) VALUES (13071, 299527); INSERT INTO `T_DMU_History` (`DM_History_DM_ID`, `DM_History_Customer_ID`) VALUES (13071, 299528); INSERT INTO `T_DMU_History` (`DM_History_DM_ID`, `DM_History_Customer_ID`) VALUES (13071, 299529); INSERT INTO `T_DMU_History` (`DM_History_DM_ID`, `DM_History_Customer_ID`) VALUES (13071, 299531); INSERT INTO `T_DMU_History` (`DM_History_DM_ID`, `DM_History_Customer_ID`) VALUES (13071, 299532); INSERT INTO `T_DMU_History` (`DM_History_DM_ID`, `DM_History_Customer_ID`) VALUES (13071, 299533); INSERT INTO `T_DMU_History` (`DM_History_DM_ID`, `DM_History_Customer_ID`) VALUES (13071, 299534); INSERT INTO `T_DMU_History` (`DM_History_DM_ID`, `DM_History_Customer_ID`) VALUES (13071, 299535); INSERT INTO `T_DMU_History` (`DM_History_DM_ID`, `DM_History_Customer_ID`) VALUES (13073, 298880); INSERT INTO `T_DMU_History` (`DM_History_DM_ID`, `DM_History_Customer_ID`) VALUES (13073, 298881); INSERT INTO `T_DMU_History` (`DM_History_DM_ID`, `DM_History_Customer_ID`) VALUES (13073, 298882); INSERT INTO `T_DMU_History` (`DM_History_DM_ID`, `DM_History_Customer_ID`) VALUES (13073, 298883); INSERT INTO `T_DMU_History` (`DM_History_DM_ID`, `DM_History_Customer_ID`) VALUES (13073, 298884); INSERT INTO `T_DMU_History` (`DM_History_DM_ID`, `DM_History_Customer_ID`) VALUES (13073, 298885); INSERT INTO `T_DMU_History` (`DM_History_DM_ID`, `DM_History_Customer_ID`) VALUES (13073, 298886); INSERT INTO `T_DMU_History` (`DM_History_DM_ID`, `DM_History_Customer_ID`) VALUES (13073, 298887); INSERT INTO `T_DMU_History` (`DM_History_DM_ID`, `DM_History_Customer_ID`) VALUES (13073, 298889); INSERT INTO `T_DMU_History` (`DM_History_DM_ID`, `DM_History_Customer_ID`) VALUES (13073, 298890); INSERT INTO `T_DMU_History` (`DM_History_DM_ID`, `DM_History_Customer_ID`) VALUES (13073, 298891); ===== There are about 870000 records. I realize that using one INSERT per row is going to hurt, but I don't control the format of the incoming data. Besides, I'd have thought this would be pretty quick regardless of how clumsy the method was. Is that "autocommit" a problem? This is a bulk load into an empty table, so I'm not worried about ACID.
