Hi guys, We have a Java process that uses Hibernate to load approximately 14 GB of data. One a dual-proc 2.4 GHZ Xeon with 2048 MB RAM, it's currently taking over 13 hours to load (PostgreSQL 7.4.8). We're flushing from hibernate every 50 records. I've turned fsync to false in postgresql.conf, and we've turned autocommit off in our code. Is there anything else I could try to temporarily speed up inserts? Thanks very much for your help.
