Scaling beyond that would seem to start getting somewhat unmaintainable, but it seems to be working out that the functional dependencies put tight constraints on what I can put into a table and hence the number of values I pull out in one go. Worst case you could always generate the SQL from other code, or even do the parsing from XML to something more structured outside PG. -- Sam http://samason.me.uk/ -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
