Re: update from select

Yes, both have varchar(50).

Query:

UPDATE owner SET picturemedium = dvds.picturemedium, title = dvds.title,
titleOrder = dvds.title, releasedate = CAST(dvds.releasedate AS date) FROM
(
SELECT DISTINCT
detail_dvd.asin,
detail_dvd.picturemedium,
detail_dvd.title,
detail_dvd.releasedate
FROM detail_dvd
WHERE releasedate IS NOT NULL AND releasedate <> '' AND
(length(releasedate) = 10 OR length(releasedate) = 23)
)
AS dvds WHERE owner.asin = dvds.asin;

He is not using the index on asin? When I reduce the SELECT to 100, he is
using the index! perhaps to many rows are affected?
The DISTINCT in the SELECT is not really necessary. It's just for security
reasons. And I did check it. It's unique! But as I said before. The SELECT
takes around 1 second! I have 13 indices on the UPDATE table. So I did
delete the one I don’t need for this query... Now I have 3 left! And it
takes around 2 Minutes! But that’s also a problem, because I need the
Indexes again! Is it possible to set the way, Postgres is building the
indices? Or is the only way deleting the indeces before UPDATE and then
creating them again?

I also tried this query (PostgreSQL's extension):

UPDATE owner SET picturemedium = detail_dvd.picturemedium, title =
detail_dvd.title, titleOrder = detail_dvd.title, releasedate =
CAST(detail_dvd.releasedate AS date)
FROM detail_dvd
WHERE owner.asin = detail_dvd.asin
AND detail_dvd.releasedate IS NOT NULL
AND detail_dvd.releasedate <> ''
AND (length(detail_dvd.releasedate) = 10 OR length(detail_dvd.releasedate) =
23);

But its also to slow:

Thaks for helping!! Bye the way, we are changing our system from MSSQL2000
to Postgres :-)!

table1.column1 and temp_table.column1 have the same type?

Show us the EXPLAIN ANALYSE - result.
