Hello,
I am having a bit of trouble updating a single integer column.
My table has around 10 columns and 260 000 records.


update no.records set uid = 2;
(uid is an integer. It has a btree index)

This update takes more than 20 minutes to execute. Is this normal? This
will be totally unacceptable when my table grows.
Any ideas?
