Hi,

I realized that inserts into foreign tables are only done row by row.
Consider copying data from one local table to a foreign table with

INSERT INTO foreign_table(a,b,c) SELECT a,b,c FROM local_table;

When the foreign  server is for example in another datacenter with long latency,
this as an enormous performance trade off.

Wouldn’t it make sense to do the insert batch wise e.g. 100 rows ?
Are there any plans doing that or am I miss something?

regards

Manuel Kniep
