I make this test. It is not better.As I wrote if I use insert into mytable
select ... (with index) the time is 10 ms.
Of this reason I think the problem is only by jdbc implementation, not by data
base.

I am not mysql expert. I used the standart setup (with transactions). All the
tests I make on the same computer:dual PIII 1 GHz, 4 GB RAM, linux 7.3.
I make this tests only to be sure that the problem is not into JVM or my app.
server.
I expected to reach 2000 (or 3000) inserts/sec. This is the result by oracle
and mysql.
With pg I got ~ 300 inserts/sec.
It is 10 time slower and I do not think it is normal.
I know pg relativ good and think that th db performance is aprox the same as
oracle.
And for me the problem is into the jdbc driver.
Any idea?
