title: Speed of Insert
body: <p>this is a newbe question.</p>
  
  <p>I have two tables in a SQL data base. Both simply a dozen columns of string, int or date, no indexes, no stored procedures. In a <code>select * from</code> statement I get ~30,000 rows per second. But on <code>insert into ...</code> I only get &lt; 1000 inserts per second. </p>
  
  <p>Is this (factor) what I should expect. (I actually expected a comparable speed on the insert part.)</p>
