How to speed up execution of mysql INSERT statements
A very good approach to speed up the execution of an INSERT statement
is to temporarly disable the keys (when executing your query), this
will help MySQL to concetrate on the INSERT and not building indexes at the same
time. Also you should LOCK your tables.
The basic syntax of such a simple operation is listed below:
ALTER TABLE table_name DISABLE KEYS;
LOCK TABLES table_name WRITE;
LOAD DATA INFILE file_name INTO TABLE table_name
UNLOCK TABLES;
ALTER TABLE table_name ENABLE KEYS;
