Hello,Yes, that's what I feel. With no records in any tables, working from the same machine where PG has been installed, with only one user working, inserting few records (10 records in total, in all 6 tables) should not take this much time. I'll be inserting records from PowerBuilder applications, and how to catch the result of Explain. OR should I run all insert commands in PG Admin or so and catch those results? As I'm new to PG, any documentation/help in this direction will be useful. Happiness AlwaysBKR Sivaprakash

Usually inserting this many records should be instantaneous.
