[gdal-dev] ogrinfo UPDATE performance request

[Andreas Oxenstierna]

Dear developers

Ogr SQL update capabilities are really impressing but there is one major performance issue with update of many features, exemplified by:
ogrinfo -dialect sqlite -sql "UPDATE <table> SET x = 1" PG:”<connection>"

This is painfully slow because ogr updates features one by one and furthermore updates all existing attributes incl. geometries.
Eg. updating 10000 features in pgAdmin/psql with UPDATE <table> SET x = 1 executes in milliseconds but takes several minutes with ogr.

The current ogr functionality is also not correct from a database transactional point of view.

I found an old RFC, https://gdal.org/development/rfc/rfc13_createfeatures.html, requesting this but it was withdrawn for reasons not anymore digitally available.

Best Regards
