Btw. I want to ask about how much "inserts" can I insert between BEGIN and
END; When I do it last time ( I want to add about 1000 "inserts") - I get
error - that buffer can contain to 20 000 characters.
I use psql, so I'm not sure if this is a limit of psql itself or limit of
backend.
And may be anybody knows if it is possible change this limit and where?
    TIA
