Re: are there any method that "Update" command not affect other unrelated indices?

Thanks. I could give more clues.
The call stack of the function most consumed time is:

0x0821d201

in execMain.c, the call of ExecInsertIndexTuples() is as following:
if (resultRelInfo->ri_NumIndices > 0 && !HeapTupleIsHeapOnly(tuple))
ExecInsertIndexTuples(slot, &(tuple->t_self), estate, false);
