Do you know, that you have to call pg_stat_reset() to restart all the counters? And yes, a update is a delete and a insert. With your query you get 3 rows per one singel update (tup_updated + tup_deleted + tup_inserted). That's maybe not that what you expected. Not to mention, every operation affects the system-tables, so one single update, for instance, procude more than 3 table-operations. Andreas -- Really, I'm not out to destroy Microsoft.
