Since `update` has no `order by` clause, I’m guessing there’s no way to do this with just the `update` statement, and that I should use `select … order by … for update’ for this. Yeah, that's one easy answer. You can probably force it with a sub-select in the UPDATE, as well, but it will take more thought. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
