I need to do a bulk data loading around 704GB (log file size) at present&nb= sp; in 8 hrs (1 am - 9am). The data file size may increase 3 to 5 times in = future.

Using COPY it takes 96 hrs to finish the task.
What is the best way to do it ?

HARDWARE: SUN THUMPER/ RAID10
OS : SOLARIS 10.
DB: Greenplum/Postgres
