Is index on column updated if the column is updated but data does not change?

1 New Member
I have a BEFORE UPDATE trigger on a table that calls the tsvector_update _trigger() built in function to update a tsvector field.
Since this trigger is called for every update to the table, the trigger function will be called even when the tsvector related field is not updated.
My question is, does the index on that tsvector column get updated each time, even though the column is being updated with the same value? If it is I could replace the build in tsvector_update _trigger() function with my own trigger function that does a check before, if not I could just keep things the way they are.
Thanks

I do some tests and it looks that index is always updated.

In an effort to improve the speed of queries against my main table, I'll be indexing a column whose data type is varchar(50). Would I be better off (better performance) if I changed the column's data type to some numeric type? I would have to update the column's data to accomodate this, but I would do it if this offers a performance gain. -- Bill

Helpful folks, Most of my previous experience with DB2 was on s390 mainframe systems and the optimizer on this platform always seemed very predictable and consistent. Since moving to a WinNT/UDB 7.2 environment, the choices the optimizer makes often seem flaky. But this last example really floored me. I was hoping someone could explain why I get worse response time when the optimizer uses two indexes, than when it uses one. Some context:

The _summary_ history table will have the following fields: ServiceName, Date, User-Ref1, User-Ref2,...

I understand it's possible to make a composite Primary Key by holding down the control key and selecting multiple fields, then right-clicking and selecting Primary Key.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
