PostgreSQL equivalent of https://github.com/gabfl/mysql-batch.
Updating or deleting a large amount of rows in PostgreSQL will create locks that will paralyze other queries running in parallel.
This tool will run UPDATE and DELETE queries in small batches to limit locking. If a large number of rows has to be updated or deleted, it is also possible to limit the number of rows selected at once.
pip3 install pg_batch
You can run this example with the schema available in sample_table/schema.sql
The following example will be identical to the following update:
UPDATE batch_test SET date = NOW() WHERE number > 30 AND date is NULL;This is the equivalent to process this update with batches of 20 rows:
pg_batch --host localhost \
--user postgres \
--password secret_password \
--database "test" \
--table "batch_test" \
--write_batch_size 20 \
--where "number > 30 AND date IS NULL" \
--set "date = NOW()"Output sample:
* Selecting data...
query: SELECT id as id FROM batch_test WHERE number > 30 AND date IS NULL AND id > 0 ORDER BY id LIMIT 10000
* Preparing to modify 70 rows...
* Updating 20 rows...

DELETE FROM batch_test WHERE number > 30 AND date is NULL;This is the equivalent to process this delete with batches of 20 rows:
