slower it's gonna be. You can test this, it's easy to create test
rows like so:
insert into test select generate_series(1,10000);
etc. There's lots of examples floating around on how to do that. So,
make yourself a couple of tables and test it.
Well, my question is, rather, whether the time to do a bulk INSERT of N records into a large table, would take substantially longer than a bulk insert of N records into a small table. In other words, does the populating time grow as the table gets more and more rows?
