Re: For loop

I rewritte the Jonah's function to:
  FOR iter IN 1 .. num_iter  LOOP      -- some computations             INSERT INTO carga (descricao) VALUES
('CardPass'); END LOOP;
 

My ID is now() by default

And it was in 23sec

After I changed the insert to:  INSERT INTO carga (id,descricao) VALUES ('2007-03-13 
10:20:20','CardPass');

And it was in:
19485ms

Great don't you ?
