Hi,
Our application is using Postgres 7.4 and I'd like to understand the root
cause of this problem:
To speed up overall insert time, our application will write thousands of
rows, one by one, into a temp table
1. how frequently are you commiting the transaction ?
if you commit less frequetly it will be faster.
2. If you use COPY instead of INSERT it will be faster.
using COPY is easy with DBD::Pg (perl). In versions
8.x i think there has been major speed improvements
in COPY.
I do not know the root cause of slowdown though.
