Re: Improving PostgreSQL insert performance

You need to be careful with the setFetchSize we have tables with over 10 million rows and many columns and the PostgreSQL JDBC driver silently fails, ignores the fetch size and tries to read the entire table content into memory. I spent many agonizing days on this.

ps.setFetchSize(65536);

I am not doing anything special I guess. I am adding the results of the tests and the programs I'm using to the following page:

The copy example, in Java, is at the end. All of the examples use trivial data and the same data. If you find fault please let me know ;) But the copy does insert the records as they can be seen ;)

Frits,

When you use the copy command, are you doing anything special to get the run time that you are indicating?
