Even better is to use COPY to load large chunks of data. libpq provides
access to the COPY interface if you feel like some C coding. The JDBC
driver (dev version only so far) now provides access to the COPY API, so
you can also bulk-load via Java very efficiently now.

I recall seeing someplace that you can avoid WAL if you start a transaction, then truncate the table, then start a COPY.

Is that correct?  Still hold true?  Would it make a lot of difference?

(Also, small plug, perl supports the COPY api too)
