Hello,
Yes, that's what I feel. With no records in any tables, working from the same machine where PG has been installed, with only one user working, inserting few records (10 records in total, in all 6 tables) should not take this much time.
I'll be inserting records from PowerBuilder applications, and how to catch the result of Explain. OR should I run all insert commands in PG Admin or so and catch those results?
As I'm new to PG, any documentation/help in this direction will be useful.
Happiness Always

Can you run EXPLAIN (ANALYZE,BUFFERS) on the INSERT command and post the results here? Usually inserting this many records should be instantaneous.
