Re: Another weird one with an UPDATE

Yes, the query operates only on indexed columns (all numeric(10)'s).

Column | Type |
Modifiers
-------------------------------+-----------------------------+--------------
---------------
user_account_id | numeric(10,0) | not null
[snip]
Indexes: user_account_pkey primary key btree (user_account_id),
Foreign Key constraints: $1 FOREIGN KEY (lang_id) REFERENCES lang(lang_id)
ON UPDATE NO ACTION ON DELETE NO ACTION,
$2 FOREIGN KEY (source_id) REFERENCES
source(source_id) ON UPDATE NO ACTION ON DELETE NO ACTION,
$3 FOREIGN KEY (user_role_id) REFERENCES
user_role(user_role_id) ON UPDATE NO ACTION ON DELETE NO ACTION
