I have a table that has about 100,000 records. The primary key has type of number. When I did a 'update column=value where primary_key > number and primary < number (about 100 records), it took about 15 minutes. Our database server is a capable machine and this slow update is totally upacceptible. After we dropped the table and recreated it, the same update took less than 1 second. I am wondering what change within the datase has made the huge performance difference. Thanks.
