Hi Tom, Thanks for your response. It takes around 1 hour & 40 minutes to insert 28000+ records. Also, I find that the first few thousand transactions are quite fast but slows down later. I have MySQL on Linux. I have a concatenated primary key of multiple fields. And I also have a unique index on each of these fields. There are 1,734,291 bytes of data in the table with an average row length of 61.
