Fast database loading with time-stamped records

A computer-implemented method, the method comprising:

• determining, for a first record of a batch of records, a first timestamp to be stored with the first record in a database into which the batch of records are to be loaded as part of a database loading process;
• generating, for each remaining record of the batch of records, a future timestamp using the first timestamp, until a final timestamp of a final record of the batch of records is generated;
• determining a load completion time at which the database loading process completes;
• if the load completion time occurs prior to the final timestamp, determining a wait time until a batch completion time by comparing the load completion time and the final timestamp, and waiting for the wait time to reach the batch completion time;
• and
• if the load completion time is at or after the final timestamp, reaching the batch completion time at the load completion time.

A system comprising:

• at least one memory including instructions;
• and
• at least one processor that is operably coupled to the at least one memory and that is arranged and configured to execute instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to:
• determine, for a first record of a batch of records, a first timestamp to be stored with the first record in a database into which the batch of records are to be loaded as part of a database loading process;
• generate, for each remaining record of the batch of records, a future timestamp using the first timestamp, until a final timestamp of a final record of the batch of records is generated;
• determine a load completion time at which the database loading process completes;
• if the load completion time occurs prior to the final timestamp, determine a wait time until a batch completion time by comparing the load completion time and the final timestamp, and wait for the wait time to reach the batch completion time;
• and
• if the load completion time is at or after the final timestamp, reach the batch completion time at the load completion time.
