- The only workaround that I could think of is -
UPDATE users SET
visited = now(),
ip = '20.20.20.20'::inet,
lat = (SELECT lat FROM geoip WHERE '20.20.20.20'::inet <<= block),
lng = (SELECT lng FROM geoip WHERE '20.20.20.20'::inet <<= block)
WHERE uid = 2;
But that would run the same subquery twice (correct?) and my geoip table is already slow with 3073410 records (and that is why I am trying to cache its lat and lng values in the users table on each user login event)
Have you considered using a WITH clause to get the data so the query is only run once?
See section 7.8.2 at https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/queries-with.html
