Re: feeding big script to psql

Tom,

Thanks for the suggestion. I have just applied both switch , -f (I have
applied this in the previous case too) and -n, but it becomes slow again. At
the beginning it reads about 300 KB a second, and when it has read 1.5 MB,
it reads only about 10 KB a second, it slows down gradually. Maybe others
should also try this scenario. Can I help anything?

Best Regards,
Otto
