[PERFORM] Incr/Decr Integer
Hey all! Is there a better way to increase or decrease the value of an integer than doing something like: --- UPDATE the_table SET the_int = the_int + 1 WHERE the_id = 123 ; --- We seem to be getting a lot of deadlocks using this method under heavy load. Just wondering if we should be doing something different.

What is the purpose of this query - how are you using it? -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
