Hi everybody, I'm looking for a database system for a SCADA system. The major probles I think it's on performance because the application it's going to poll about 4k variables per second from hardware and has to register the values on the procces table. I heard that PostgreSQL provides a bulk loading mechanism called COPY, which takes tab-delimited or CSV input from a file. Where COPY can be used instead of hundreds or thousands of INSERTS, it can cut execution time. I'm less than a novice so I'll thank any piece of advice. Sorry for my poor english. F.
