Hi
I'm a postgres novice so ....
I have this fairly simple table
-------------------------------------------------
device integer not null,
group integer not null,
datum timestamp without time zone not null,
val1 numeric(7,4) not null default 0.000,
val2 numeric(7,4) not null default 0.000
-------------------------------------------------
The device column is a foreign-key to the PK of my device table.
and I have a UNIQUE INDEX on 3 columns device, group, datum
This is just a test database and I want to keep the "datum" values
(timestamps that span approx 1 month) all bound to CURRENT_DATE().
So I thought I’d just run this once (via cron) every morning.
BEGIN;
DROP INDEX data_unique;
UPDATE data SET datum = (data.datum + interval '24 hours');
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX data_unique ON public.data USING BTREE
(device, group, datum);
COMMIT;
But
1. it’s taking forever and
2. I’m seeing that my disk is filling up real fast.
Any suggestions?
Alan
