I have a perl/dbi app that loads my DB with sequential and discrete insert statements. Runs very fast and I’m satisfied with it. Now I have to run the same app from a different site, but loading my local DB. The “one at a time” inserts take too long, probably because of the client/server delays incurred with the remote DB attach. I was thinking of pooling all the data for the insert into arrays and then doing a single array insert, therby cutting down on all the back/forth. But there may be other approaches.
I suggest using COPY instead of INSERT, if all you're doing is adding bulk data to a database.
Again, Perl/DBI, remote attach, Running v8.2.0 on Linux
Version 8.2.6 is the latest release in the 8.2 branch. You really shouldn't be running 8.2.0 anymore.
