I started the insert on the real database to copy some 3.6 million records
between the tables, and plotted the timings -- now (with about half a
million records done) you can see the time it takes to insert a row
actually goes in a sawtooth pattern -- cf.
http://www.coretec.at/~cm/insert-trigger.gif
which has msec/inserted row on the Y axis and number of rows in the
"output" table on the X axis.
Can anybody explain this?
Note that these are not the tables from the perl script I posted, but
something more complex with a few foreign key constraints, but the
trigger is basically doing the same thing.
Oh, and:
=> select version();
version
