Hi there,

I am trying to find if importing a very large delimited text file is faster
with postgresql or mysql (with mysqlimport). Each night the transaction
system we use completes a text file of the days activities, which must be
loaded into a database, the speed is very important, mysqlimport takes less
than an hour, however sometimes crashes. Is postgresql likely to be faster
or slower at importing such vast amounts of data?

Matt
