Hello,
I have tried to write my problem, but I think nobody couldn,t understand
it (because of my bad English, I think).
I have a table for instance boci (row_number int, col2 float, col3
float). The boci table has about 10000 rows.
I want to update col3 column of the table in every row with different
values. Desired values are in an array has 10000 elements. I want to be
the value of the col3 column in the first row equal to the first element
of the array and so on.
I've done it with a 'for' cycle, but it is very slow. I want to do
theese updates with one transaction.
Here is a little piece of my program:
for (i=0; i<10000; i++)
{
sprintf(buff, "UPDATE boci SET col3 = %f WHERE row_number=%d",
array[i], i);
PQexec(conn, buff);
}
PQexec(conn, "COMMIT");
This program is very, very slow. Is there any way making this program
much faster (for instance with CURSOR or 'block write' or something
else)? Please write me a little program that describes your ideas!
Thanks for your help in advance!
