I have an application that I am porting from MySQL to PostgreSQL and I am working on the import Perl script that process the data.
The data is web log data and each line has a variable amount of the fields (mostly because of cookies) so I am using a lot of insert statements.
In MySQL I go through a file in about 2 minutes and it is taking about 30 in PG. I have removed all but the primary key index and have done a BEGIN and COMMIT after turning off AUTOCOMMIT.
What other things should I be looking at to spped this up?
