I was wondering if anyone had any tips on Optimizing SQL Insert statements.
I wrote a conversion from an older legacy database system and the conversion seems real slow. I narrowed the delay down to the SQL Insert commands. Does anyone have any tips that could speed up this process ?

Insert into persons (per_name,per_address,per_city,per_state,per_zip) values
'John Smith','123 any street','any city','NY','11876')

Thanks !
