Thanks for the answer. I can't remember exactly which inserter I use currently. I will check it tomorrow. But I do commit and restart a new transaction after a fixed number of insertions.
At the same time, I execute some queries on the database while I insert the data, since such insertions are conditional and always require some checks before the insertions are executed. cheers, Qiuyan Quoting Martin Neumann <m.neumann.1...@gmail.com>: > Do you use the Batchinserter or a normal Transaction? > When using a normal Transaction to insert huge amounts of data I always > submit and create a new transaction every X Items.
