RE: [GENERAL] Long update query ?

PostgreSQL 6.3 and lower has a problem with lots of OR's in the where
clause (the optimizer exhaust memory if I'm not mistaken).  ProstgreSQL
6.4 will handle OR's better.  In the mean time I'd suggest rewriting
your queries (don't forget that you can use IN/NOT IN).
