- David on No, Simple Mode Doesn’t Disable The Transaction Log:
I wrote a Perl program that ran insert statements. Each statement inserted perhaps 20 rows all together as one transaction. Grouping statements together to form bigger transactions made a tremendous difference in overall throughput. For a different project, I had studied throughput as a function of batch size, but I am off on a tangent now and have already answered your question. (I was on vacation last week or I would have responded sooner.)
