I think my case is the former. Like Sales support team prepare the reply for the open request at the end of the day and upload. In the evening, I have scheduled job on my AS400 do the upgrade from result to request table with other information.
Insert each rows takes long time compared to update or delete. I think it's slow because simply it will generate the number of statement with the same number of rows. (500 rows = 500 insert statements) Can we simply copy the selected rows to another ? I'm not sure.
