the problem is a combination of bad formed SQL and maybe missing indexes.
try this:
UPDATE t1
SET booleanfield = foo.bar
FROM (SELECT uid,(field IN ('some','other') AND field2 = 'Y') AS bar FROM
t2) AS foo
WHERE t1.uid=foo.uid;
Hi Jens,
Why is this query better than the other one ? Because it runs the
"(field IN ('some','other') AND field2 = 'Y')" once and then executes
the join with the resulting set ?
and index t1.uid, t2.uid, t2.field, t2.field2
t1.field can only take 3 or 4 values (don't remember exactly), and
field2 only 2 ('Y' or 'N'). So this fields have a very low cardinality.
Won't the planner chose to do a table scan in such a case ?
Thanks for your advices !
