Hello,

I am using Postgres-6.5 as my database. I have to
create and query db using Java (with JDBC). I am using
P-III with 128 MB of RAM.
Consider that following data structure is being stored
in db.
(int4,int4,varchar(50),int2,int4)
To store such 1000 data it takes as large as 90
seconds. I don't have any pre-experience using db.
So, is this much time OK?
I expect someone to comment who have used db with Java
thoroughly.

Thanking You,
With Reards,
Alpesh

You've turned off auto-commit right and just do one commit at
the end? Otherwise its doing a lot of work for each record
added. In general when you are doing bulk inserts, you want
to turn off some of the database features to gain speed.

Make sure auto-commit is off and then post the results. I
bet they are *way* faster!

Hello everyone,
I cannot find a suitable type for a chunk of binary data (about 1400
bytes) in PostgreSQL 65.3. database which I access via ODBC (in MySQL
I'm usinng BLOB type and in MS Access LONGBINARY type). I'm using
SQL_C_BINARY binding for reading the data and
SQL_C_BINARY/SQL_LONGVARBINARY binding for updating it. Status after
updating corresponds to the size of the data (1400) stored, but I read
it immediately after it says that only 5 bytes read (I hope I'm
interpreting the value of status well). I tried to change
SQL_LONGVARBINARY to SQL_LONGVARCHAR but still I do not get back what I
store.
What type should I use, please? Or is it something with ODBC? I'm using
unixODBC-1.8.3 (a patch that recently appeared on this list concerning
BLOBs and ODBC has been applied int this release and I believe the
Postgres driver is pretty up-to-date).
Thank you a lot.

Regards,
Ales Pour
