FWIW it tends to be faster to do the bulk load first and add the indexes and constraints later. (Though obviously you must be prepared to cope with the failing rows, if any). However, if you do this INSERT/SELECT thing frequently, this is probably not very workable. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc.
