Right. That's exactly what I'm doing to get the update to occur in 15
minutes. Unfortunately though, I'm basically at the point of every
time I insert/update into that table I have to drop the index which is
making my life very painful (having to de-dupe records in RAM in my
application is a lot faster but also more complicated/error prone).
Basically, I need some way to optimize PG so that I don't have to drop
that index every time.
Suggestions?
