mmm, I've just sent a sugestion to use delete+reinsert and would like
to point that in pg update~=delete+insert. I use those because many
times they are more efficient ( simple conditions on delete, insert is
fast in postgres, and you can vacuum in the middle if a large portion
is going to get reinserted to reuse the space )
