Hi, Here are sample stat: - Template_product has 1,033040 rows - template_all_in_one has 93,796,400 rows I basically need to calculate the total for each article in template_all_in_one and update it to Template_product. What is the best way to improve the performance? I already have 7 indexes specify for the column. My desktop has 4quad and 8 GB memory. it only used up 1 GB memory. is it possible to increase the memory, so the query will use more memory and end up faster performance? =================================== CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION test_update_template_db() RETURNS integer AS $BODY$ DECLARE text_manipulation TEXT :=''; row_data template_product%ROWTYPE; BEGIN FOR row_data IN SELECT * FROM template_product LOOP update template_product set total_all_in_one = (select count(*) from template_all_in_one where template_article_name = row_data.template_article_name) where template_product.id = row_data.id; END LOOP; RETURN 1; END; $BODY$ LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE COST 100; ALTER FUNCTION test_update_template_db() OWNER TO postgres; ======================================== -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
