Hi!

I am working on updating a 1 billion row table. The requirement is to update a flag field according to the business requirement.

Can someone suggest a good way (performance wise) to update the flag. Once again, the table has '1 billion' rows!

Thanks,

-SV

thanks, you are right... i will be not be updating as it will blow up the temp space. i am doing it by creating another table with the same schema and will make the changes while inserting into it.
