Greetings friends,
I've started to look at postgreSQL for a potential rdbms platform to
move our development to. However, i have found one slight short-coming
thus far.
I seems that multiple inserts are not supported by postgres:
e.g.,
INSERT INTO test VALUES ( 'one', 1, 2, 3 ), ( 'two', 2, 3, 4 ), ( . . --
youget the idea . -- now imagine a hundred or so of these ), ( 'ten', 10, 11, 12 );
will generate the following error:
ERROR: parser: parse error at or near ","
Is this type of insert not supported at all?
I did a search through the mailing lists (namely pgsql-sql and
pgsql-general). Admittedly the search wasn't exhaustive but i was
unable to 'hit' on any relevant topic.
Could someone please clarify whether or not multiple-inserts are planned
for a near-future release? Pointers to documentation and/or
mailing-list discussions would be appreciated.
tia,
patrick
