Hello everyone, My question is like the subject, is it much slower to update all columns values than just a single column? Generated update queries from ORM:s generally have the following format: update foo set a = 1, b = 2, c = 3, .... where id = 1234; So each column is touched which, I suspect, is much slower than just updating a single column because more indexes has to be rebuilt and so on. EXPLAIN ANALYZE does not give any hints and claims that both queries are equally fast. Maybe someone can guide me to documentation which explains how to estimate how costly row-level updates are? -- mvh Björn -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
