Hi,
I have to refactoring a 'DELETE FROM x WHERE y IN (...)' because IN got
to much parameters. => 'stack depth limit exceeded'
I don't want to increase just the parameter for max_stack_depth. It is
better to refactoring because the number of arguments to IN may increase
in the future.
My approach is to do multiple 'DELETE FROM x WHERE y=...'.
My question is now, what is better for PostgreSQL from a performance
perspective?
1. all multiple deletes in one transaction
2. each delete in its own transaction
The number of arguments is around 10,000.
BTW: The arguments are generate in the application tier. I would have to
create a temporary table which I can use in 'DELETE FROM x WHERE y IN
(SELECT z FROM tmp)'.
Cheers
Sven
