You can try this too:
...
WHERE EXTRACT(YEAR FROM dxdate::Date) > 2000

Asunto: Re: [SQL] Slow update SQL
Hi Ken,
I used to have the same problem. In my computer, using date_part in WHERE
clause will always slow down the system when the table has plenty of rows.
My suggestion is try to change the query to:
... WHERE dxdate >= '2001-01-01';
I hope this helps.
Regards,
bungsu

I'm experiencing a very slow query. The table contains 611,564 rows of data.
I vaccumed the table:
VACUUM ANALYZE ncccr10;
SELECT count(*) FROM ncccr10;
count
--------
611564
(1 row)
When I try to analyze the query plan with:
EXPLAIN ANALYZE
UPDATE ncccr10
SET key = facilityno||'-'||
lastname||'-'||
sex||'-'||
ssno||'-'||
birthdate||'-'||
primarysit||'-'||
dxdate||'-'||
morphology3
WHERE date_part('year',dxdate) > '2000';
The query just never finishes (even 1 hour later). The colum key100 is
indexed, and I'm setting the value of this
column from other columns. Why is this so slow?
