Re: Postgres batch write very slow - what to do

I tried maxpages = 0 and full_page_writes=off and it seemed to be taking
forever.
All other tricks I have already tried.

At this point I wondering if its a jdbc client side issue - I am using the
latest 8.1.
(as I said in an earlier post - I am using addBatch with batch size of 100).
But just in case - I am missing something.

If 17k record/sec is right around expected then I must say I am little
disappointed from the "most advanced open source database".

thanks for all your help.
