Description:        Bulk Import  stopps after a while ( 8.0.0. RC1)

Details:


Hello,

I have found a trivial problem during the bulk import of data.
I have a following situation.
  - I have 2 big table on SQL Server 2000 with 163000 rows each.

 - I have written a java program to transfer  data from SQL Server 2000 to
PosgresSQL 8.0.0 RC1 release. I am updating the data in batches.
If my batch size is 1000/2000 records at a time.. This works fine.. And if I
change this size to say 20,000, it does only finishes one loop.. and then
stays idle. The CPU usage down to 10 % which was before 100 % while applying
the first batch of 20, 000 records.


The execution of program is halting just at
int n [] = stmt.batchUpdate();

I waited one hours at the most to wait above instruction to finish and then
stopped manually.. I am not sure that is it JDBC error or PostgreSQL error.
I am using JDBC release of PosgresSQL 8.0.0 RC1 release.


Thanks
Bahadur
