And then I process it like this, N keys at a time:SELECT key FROM queue WHERE status=0 LIMIT N; BEGIN TRANSACTION; for key in keys: UPDATE queue SET status=1 WHERE key=key; END TRANSACTION; How can this SELECT and UPDATE be combined more efficiently?
Something like this perhaps: update queue set status = 1 where status = 0 and key < (select key from queue where status=0 order by key limit 1 offset N); -- Igor Tandetnik _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
