Update taking forever
The below statement is now running for 18 hours on a table with ~8 Million
Rows, no triggers no fancy stuff. The database is otherwise performing very
well and the server is a development server that's currently idle except for
the update statement. Any suggestions why it takes so long to update a
couple million rows?
update characters set last_update = null
Note: 'last_update' is a timestamp column but the column does not seem to
influence the time it takes to complete the update.

Hi Oliver,

Try to update only rows that not already null.
update characters set last_update = null where last_update is not null;
