>Have you tried this with Oracle or similar commercial database?
I have timed COPY/LOAD times for Postgresql/Mysql/Oracle/Db2 -
the rough comparison is :
Db2 and Mysql fastest (Db2 slightly faster)
Oracle approx twice as slow as Db2
Postgresql about 3.5-4 times slower than Db2
However Postgresql can sometimes create indexes faster than Mysql ....
so that the total time of COPY + CREATE INDEX can be smaller for
Postgresql than Mysql.
Oracle an Db2 seemed similarish to Postgresql with respect to CREATE INDEX
