Re: [GENERAL] Array load from remote site through Perl/DBI

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.

You can either wrap all the inserts in a begin; end; pair or you can use copy from stdin. pg_dump uses copy from stdin for an example.

I think as long as you're moving things in a transaction you'll probably be ok.
