Thank you, Byrial,
I have tried your suggestion and now I can say that nothing has changed, the query needs thousands of seconds to complete like if the data comes from sql host to hemlock and then goes back through the network when I select from one database to another one. Maybe I'm wrong, but on my local machine with very slow harddrive and cpu the very similar query creating the same table from a file work several times faster and other queries are usually slower.

Create the table without keys and add them later as needed when the
table is populated. It is much faster insert when there is no keys to
update for each inserted row.
