1. I think I tried this, but do you mean that I should issue "BEGIN" 
and "COMMIT" statements manually (via my connection's "execute" method), 
or should I use ADO's BeginTrans and CommitTrans method on the connection ?
2. OK I think I haven't tried this, I left it to the default setting (no 
idea what this is)
3. OK I could try this, but the table is very large and this would be 
very cumbersome to code. That would be a command with about 100 
parameters, I'd rather just issue a "INSERT INTO pgsql_table SELECT * 
FROM local-table".

I'll activate mylog also. I thought that commlog was enough but I forgot 
about mylog.
