Dear Roman ,

thanks for your response. We tried your suggestions
but it don't has boosted the performance. Herewith we
made our response inline with your reply,

We have used Mysql's InnoDB engine. It supports
transaction and FK. Even compared to Mysql's InnoDB
firebird's insertion rate performance is lower (1.5
times in preapred statementa and batch , in case of
ten thousand records). Direct statement insertion is
of the order of 3 times that of mysql for 10000
records. Our scenario is of mainly of insertion. But
in firebird selection is pretty fast since it supports
configuration of cache.

We used transaction in batch size you have specified
(5k, 10 k etc). But even insertion rate is less

But type 2 driver has not improved the insertion rate
performance.

Since it remains as System configuration I tested
with default. Used the same for both mysql and
firebird.

External tables cannot be created for tables having
FK or PK. But our application has both. So we are
unable to use that option.

Herewith I have attached my test program for your
reference,

Thanks again for your inputs,

Thanks & Regards,
