Hi,

I am using COPY FROM for volume inserts and every $commitafter I make
a end_copy and restarts the process. Is this necessary for not losing
data
in case of a crasch or is it a good way to use more code and CPU than
actually needed?

regards, Axier

Shouldn't be necessary, though not a bad idea if you make the output
visible so you can tell exactly where you crashed.
