Hi everybody,
I'm looking for a database system for a SCADA system. The major
probles I think it's on performance because the application it's going
to poll about 4k variables per second from hardware and has to register
the values on the procces table.
I heard that PostgreSQL provides a bulk loading mechanism called COPY,
which takes tab-delimited or CSV input from a file. Where COPY can be
used instead of hundreds or thousands of INSERTS, it can cut execution
time.
I'm less than a novice so I'll thank any piece of advice.
Sorry for my poor english.
F.
