Hello,
Yes, that's what I feel.  With no records in any tables, working from the same machine where PG has been installed, with only one user working, inserting few records (10 records in total, in all 6 tables)  should not take this much time.  

I'll be inserting records from PowerBuilder applications, and how to catch the result of Explain.  OR should I run all insert commands in PG Admin or so and catch those results?  

As I'm new to PG, any documentation/help in this direction will be useful.

Happiness Always
BKR Sivaprakash

We feel that the insert time taken is longer than the time taken while using Sql Server. We tested almost a similar window that updated the similar table(s) in SQL server, which was > > faster. With Postgres database, we need to wait for a couple of seconds before the insert/update is over, which we didn't feel in Sql Server.

Can you run EXPLAIN (ANALYZE,BUFFERS) on the INSERT command and post the results here? Usually inserting this many records should be instantaneous.
