Hi Albe
Thank you for your reply
The query changed a bit
explain (analyze, buffers)
UPDATE
csischema.tf_transaction_item_person TRANS
SET
general_ledger_code = PURCH.general_ledger_code,
general_ledger_code_desc = PURCH.general_ledger_code_desc,
update_datetime = now()::timestamp(0)
FROM
csischema.tf_purchases_person PURCH
WHERE
PURCH.general_ledger_code IS NOT NULL AND
TRANS.purchased_log_id = PURCH.purchased_log_id AND
TRANS.general_ledger_code IS NULL
;
^
select count(*) from csischema.tf_transaction_item_person where general_ledger_code is null;
count
---------
1393515
select count(*) from csischema.tf_transaction_item_person ;
count
---------
3408380
select count(*) from csischema.tf_purchases_person;
count
----------
20760731
select count(*) from csischema.tf_purchases_person where general_ledger_code IS NOT NULL;
count
---------
6909204
But the kicker is this
A select count to see how many records will be used for update gets me zero
select count(trans.purchased_log_id) from
csischema.tf_transaction_item_person TRANS,
csischema.tf_purchases_person PURCH
WHERE
PURCH.general_ledger_code IS NOT NULL AND
TRANS.purchased_log_id = PURCH.purchased_log_id AND
TRANS.general_ledger_code IS NULL
;
count
-------
0
(1 row)
Considering this , I wonder if an index on csischema.tf_purchases_person (purchased_log_id, general_ledger_code) and one on tf_transaction_item_person (purchased_log_id, general_ledger_code) would not help ?
This is what bugs me.
I got the explain out
without indexes
