I think to actually give you a meaningful response, we really need more details about your configuration - what PostgreSQL version are you using, what configuration have you changed from the defaults and such. Anyway, you're right that triggers are not cheap. The numbers I get on the development version with a bit of tuning look like this: INSERT (direct) 1.5 sec INSERT 4.0 sec INSERT (EXECUTE) 11.5 sec So it's ~ what you've measured. Rules have the lowest overhead, but also there's a lot of tricky places. There's not much you can do, except for inserting the data directly into the right partition (without any triggers). -- Tomas Vondra http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
