Re: pg_dump and transactions

Can you explain the COPY troubles you have had.  Seems like a problem.

What about this patch which batches INSERTS into transaction blocks?
Seems if you are worried about performance, you should be using COPY.  I
am not inclined to apply it but rather find out why COPY isn't working
for this person.
