Great! Then there will be no problems. I would use COPY but I think I can not. While moving from MySQL to PostgreSQL I am also transforming a pair of fields, latitude, longitude, into a geometry field, POINT, that is understood for Potgis. I though I will not be able to use COPY when inserting data with functions.
Thanks again all. Javier. On 5/3/06, Martijn van Oosterhout <kleptog@svana.org> wrote:

There's a limit of (I think) 2-4 billion commands per transaction. Each command can insert any number of tuples. So if you're doing one tuple per command that limits you to a few billion inserts per transaction. Ofcourse, COPY is always faster still...
