Hi all,

  I have the following table:

espsm_asme=# \d statistics_sasme
                                          Table "public.statistics_sasme"
Column | Type | Modifiers
--------------------------+--------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------
statistic_id | numeric(10,0) | not null default nextval('STATISTICS_OPERATOR_ID_SEQ'::text)
 input_message_id         | character varying(50)    |
 timestamp_in             | timestamp with time zone |
 telecom_operator_id      | numeric(4,0)             |
 enduser_number           | character varying(15)    | not null
 telephone_number         | character varying(15)    | not null
 application_id           | numeric(10,0)            |
 customer_id              | numeric(10,0)            |
 customer_app_config_id   | numeric(10,0)            |
 customer_app_contents_id | numeric(10,0)            |
 message                  | character varying(160)   |
 message_type_id          | numeric(4,0)             |
Indexes:
    "pk_stsasme_statistic_id" primary key, btree (statistic_id)
Triggers:
"RI_ConstraintTrigger_17328735" AFTER INSERT OR UPDATE ON statistics_sasme FROM telecom_operators NOT DEFERRABLE INITIALLY IMMEDIATE FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE "RI_FKey_check_ins"('fk_stsasme_telecom_operator_id', 'statistics_sasme', 'telecom_operators', 'UNSPECIFIED', 'telecom_operator_id', 'telecom_operator_id') "RI_ConstraintTrigger_17328738" AFTER INSERT OR UPDATE ON statistics_sasme FROM applications NOT DEFERRABLE INITIALLY IMMEDIATE FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE "RI_FKey_check_ins"('fk_stsasme_application_id', 'statistics_sasme', 'applications', 'UNSPECIFIED', 'application_id', 'application_id') "RI_ConstraintTrigger_17328741" AFTER INSERT OR UPDATE ON statistics_sasme FROM customers NOT DEFERRABLE INITIALLY IMMEDIATE FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE "RI_FKey_check_ins"('fk_stsasme_customer_id', 'statistics_sasme', 'customers', 'UNSPECIFIED', 'customer_id', 'customer_id')


That contains about 7.000.000 entries and I have to remove 33.000 entries. I have created an sql file with all the delete sentences, e.g.:

   "DELETE FROM statistics_sasme WHERE statistic_id = 9832;"

then I do \i delete_items.sql. Remove a single entry takes more than 10 seconds. What would you do to speed it up?

Thank you very much
