Need Advice on an Import Script

[Michael Morris]

I am nearing the completion of a script to import a book reviews database into vbulletin, then manipluate those files with custom files.

Anyway, I need to write an import script that will be making many posts in rapid succession as it adds the rows from the old database to the new. However, I've found the script shuts down after 10-14 posts. Is this a security feature, or do I need to insert some kind of delay loop to protect mysql from flood? I've never done this sort of thing before, so help would be appreciated.
