Luis,

There doesn't appear to be a where clause on the statement.

Thus, you're intending to change every row correct?

Any triggers or constraints on these files? Those would slow you down considerably.

Are the files journaled? If so, make sure you run the update under commitment control. Or stop
journaling while you run the update.

I wonder if it'd be any quicker to create a temporary file with the new values then do a CPYF
MBROPT(*REPLACE) back to the original?

HTH,
Charles

Subject: Improving SQL Update perfomance

Hi list,

What would be the best way to improve the performance of
a SQL Update statement executed with RUNSQLSTM?

I need to run the following SQL for several tables:

UPDATE LIBNAME/TABLE SET
Field1 = round(field1 / 1000, 2),
Field2 = round(field2 / 1000, 2),
...
Fieldn = round(fieldn / 1000, 2);

Each one of these tables can have several thousands of
records. One of them has 15 million of records, and the
process is VERY slow.

Thanks in advance,

Luis
