Hello,
- did you vacuum your tables recently ?
- What I miss in your query is a check for the rows that do not need to be udated:
AND NOT (service = b.service
AND status = b.status
AND has_notification = gateway_id NOT IN (4,101,102)
AND operator = COALESCE( b.actual_target_network_id, b.requested_target_network_id )
depending on the fraction of rows that are already up to date, the might fasten your process quite a lot...
Hope To Help,
Marc Mamin

Subject: [GENERAL] Slow update
I have a daily process that synchronizes our reports database from our production databases. In the past few days, it happened a couple of times that an update query took around 7-8 hours to complete, which seems a bit excessive. This is the query:
UPDATE rb
SET service = b.service,
status = b.status,
has_notification = gateway_id NOT IN (4,101,102),
operator = COALESCE(
b.actual_target_network_id,
b.requested_target_network_id
)
FROM sms.billing b
WHERE b.time_arrived >= :date_start
AND rb.time_stamp >= :date_start
AND rb.delivered = 0
AND rb.sms_user = b.user_id
AND rb.reference = b.user_reference
AND OVERLAY( rb.msisdn placing '972' from 1 for 1 ) = b.msisdn
AND NOT mo_billed
AND system_id <> 6 -- Exclude Corporate, as it aleady has service/status
;
The variable ":date_start" is set to a date 3 days ago.
I ran explain for this query and it gave me this:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nested Loop (cost=21567.12..854759.82 rows=1 width=210)
Join Filter: (((rb.sms_user)::text = (b.user_id)::text) AND (rb.reference = b.user_reference))

I'm not an expert on reading plans, but it seems to me that it uses indices on both tables that participate in this query, so it shouldn't take such a long time.
The number of records in the table rb for the past three days is 386833. On the sms.billing table it seems to select the index on the msisdn and sme_reference fields and use it partially (only using the msisdn field). Looking at that table, the frequency of each value in the msisdn field is at most 17678 for the current data, where mostly it's a couple of thousands. How can this take so long?
Thanks,
Herouth
