The postgres version is 8.2.1 on Windows. The pl/pgsql function is inserting to an updatable view (basically two tables).

Sorry - but we probably need *still* more detail! - the definition of viewfoo is likely to be critical. For instance a simplified variant of your setup does 200000 inserts in 5s on my PIII tualatin machine:
CREATE TABLE foo1 (x INTEGER); CREATE VIEW viewfoo AS SELECT * FROM foo1; CREATE RULE ruleFoo AS ON INSERT TO viewfoo DO INSTEAD ( INSERT INTO foo1 VALUES (new.x); ) CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION functionFoo() RETURNS VOID AS $$ BEGIN FOR i in 1..200000 LOOP INSERT INTO viewfoo (x) VALUES (i); END LOOP; END; $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql; postgres=# \timing postgres=# SELECT functionFoo() ; functionfoo ------------- (1 row) Time: 4659.477 ms postgres=# SELECT count(*) FROM viewfoo; count -------- 200000 (1 row) Cheers Mark ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
