This earlier functionality has the advantage that there are no intermediate staging files required, and data is inserted into the database with multi-row inserts as soon as it is created. In our PC test the build started at 11:28:16 and ended at 11:30:27 meaning it took 2 minutes 11 seconds to build our 20 warehouse schema.

The throughput didn’t double but increased by 57%.
