PostgreSQL inserts are slow

[wonder-sk]

With a remote PostgreSQL when doing --init-from-db, the initial copy from the main schema to base schema takes very long time.

A quick and dirty fix to batch updates... Speeds up init that took over an hour to ~2 minutes. Needs cleaning up, probably updates and deletes should be batched as well.

For me, with less than 200k records, it is taking 5-6 hours to initialise.
