> It's not the database's fault for not being able to write 10M rows to the disk quickly. It usually is though. Being able to write 10m rows quickly is entirely a matter of how the engine is designed to work and the required durability semantics. Some designs can write 10m rows to magnetic storage in a few seconds. Others might take minutes. The most ideal designs (from a raw throughput perspective) leverage batching and can write multiple transactions per disk IO operation.
