I don't think the UPDATE is doing anything at all --- that ps output implies that it's waiting for some other backend to release an exclusive lock on the table, or an update lock on one of the rows to be updated. The pg_locks view might help you determine who's the culprit. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
