hello,=0A>=0A>I have a table with around 2,000,000 records (15 columns). I have to sync this from an outside source once everyday. not all records are changed/removed /new-added everyday. so what is the best way to update only those which have changed/added/or deleted?=0A>=0A>i can use update_or_create but that will update (re-write the row) even if nothing has changed in the row/record. wont that be an overhead? how can i escape that? what would be the fastest and least resources consuming way to do this table update?=0A>=0A>I also have another table with 500,000 rows and i wish to implement the same solution to that too.=0A>=0A>I earlier posted this on DBIx list, as i thought i could use DBIx tools to manage this. but based on response, it seems that MySQL tools would be more helpful in doing it in most efficent way. Plz. advice how can i address this.=0A> =0A>I also considered to delete and simply recreate the table each day..... but chnages/add and delete are not too many (may be a few hundreds.. max)=0A> =0A> =0A>ty.
