Is it 10000 *rows* or 10000*1000 = 10 000 000 *rows* updated ? When I run a simple update 10 times on 1000 rows (with no trigger, which you claim to take about the same time) it took 0.25 sec. > Also best result I achieved by doing commit+vacuum every ~500 > updates. It seems like you are updating more than one row at each update ? --------------- Hannu ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html
