The queries themselves are written like so: update ipv4_table set country='xx' where ipv4 between 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' and 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx';
There are 127k lines like that (each with a different range and the appropriate country code). Each is terminated with a semi-colon. Does that make them individual transactions in postgres or not? (postgres newbie here). Is there something else I need to do for them to be treated like separate transactions?
