I have issue that update queries is slow, I need some advice how improve speed. I don't have much control to change queries. But I can change postresql server configuration
query example: UPDATE "project_work" SET "left" = ("project_work"."left" + 2) WHERE ("project_work"."left" >= 8366) sometimes updated lines count is up to 10k postgresql version 9.3 postgresl.conf max_connections = 100 shared_buffers = 6GB # min 128kB work_mem = 100MB # min 64kB all other values are default server hardware Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2637 v4 @ 3.50GHz 16GB RAM disk is HDD about half of resource I can dedicate for postgresql server.
