For 2 you need and adapter, the foreign data wrapper, anyway. I personally would go for 1, especially if you can collocate the program near main db ( same machine or network, so you can have enough speed ) . Normally problems are much easier to diagnose this way, as you only deal with psycopg2, not with psyco AND fdw, and you will need a program to do the transfers anyway. Also, IIRC, you had a lot of machines, so you will need a main program to do all the retrying and accounting. And you can optimize some things ( like copying from several satellites and then inserting them at once ). YMMV anyway, just use whichever is easier for you, but avoid false lazyness ;-) Francisco Olarte. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
