Hi,
I just finished loading 54,000 + records into postgres, from the command
line.
$ pgsql -e dbname < loadfile
At the top of the file I put;
COPY table_name FROM stdin;
At EOF I put:
\.
BTW, loading 54353 records (22 attributes) into a db took about 4 minutes
on a 486 dx2/66 (all scsi) with a lowly 32M of RAM...
Once I created my index, selecting one record from this soup takes less
than a second (linux 2.0.27)...
Good luck!
