Hi there,

I'm doing an update of ~30,000 rows and she takes about 15mins on
pretty good hardware, even just after a vacuum analyze.
I was hoping some kind soul could offer some performance advice. Do I
just have too many indexes? Or am I missing some trick with the nulls?

MY QUERY
========
update bob.product_price set thru_date = '2005-06-22 22:08:49.957'
where thru_date is null;

MY TABLE
=========
Table "bob.product_price"
Column | Type | Modifiers
-----------------------------+--------------------------+-----------
product_id | character varying(20) | not null
product_price_type_id | character varying(20) | not null
currency_uom_id | character varying(20) | not null
product_store_id | character varying(20) | not null
from_date | timestamp with time zone | not null
thru_date | timestamp with time zone |
price | numeric(18,2) |
created_date | timestamp with time zone |
created_by_user_login | character varying(255) |
last_modified_date | timestamp with time zone |
last_modified_by_user_login | character varying(255) |
last_updated_stamp | timestamp with time zone |
last_updated_tx_stamp | timestamp with time zone |
created_stamp | timestamp with time zone |
created_tx_stamp | timestamp with time zone |

Indexes:
---------
pk_product_price primary key btree
(product_id, product_price_type_id, currency_uom_id,
product_store_id, from_date),
prdct_prc_txcrts btree (created_tx_stamp),
prdct_prc_txstmp btree (last_updated_tx_stamp),
prod_price_cbul btree (created_by_user_login),
