Hi, I've googled and yahooed and most of the performance tweaks suggested cover SELECT speed, some cover COPY speed with things like turning fsync off and such. But I still have not found how to improve regular INSERT speed on Postgresql. I have a table in MySQL with three compound indexes. I have only three columns from this table also in PostgreSQL, which serves as a cache of sorts for fast queries, and this table has only ONE main index on the primary key! INSERTing into MySQL takes 0.0001 seconds per insert query. INSERTing into PgSQL takes 0.871 seconds per (much smaller) insert query. What can I do to improve this performance? What could be going wrong to elicit such poor insertion performance from Postgresql? Thanks. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
