What parameter do I > have to set in order to update 6000 records in under an hour? Is this a pass-through query or is it an ordinary query in Access? If it is an an ordinary query, I'd expect that to be one cause since MS-Access will re-write this query so that it updates a single tuple at a time. So your single update statement becomes 6000 single tuple update statements. This is part of MS-Access's optimistic locking mechanism. Also, this might be an ODBC issue (I have the sample problem on one of my laptop that is memory constrained but I haven't taken the time to identify the actual problem). What happens when you issue this query directly from PSQL, does the query run much faster. -- Regards, Richard Broersma Jr. Visit the Los Angeles PostgreSQL Users Group (LAPUG) http://pugs.postgresql.org/lapug -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
