Hi, I am performing a bulk insert of 1TB TPC-DS benchmark data into PostgreSQL 9.4. It's taking around two days to insert 100 GB of data. Please let me know your suggestions to improve the performance. Below are the configuration parameters I am using: shared_buffers =12GB maintainence_work_mem = 8GB work_mem = 1GB fsync = off synchronous_commit = off checkpoint_segments = 256 checkpoint_timeout = 1h checkpoint_completion_target = 0.9 checkpoint_warning = 0 autovaccum = off Other parameters are set to default value. Moreover, I have specified the primary key constraint during table creation. This is the only possible index being created before data loading and I am sure there are no other indexes apart from the primary key column(s).
