While Postgres is letting you "fudge", you are missing part of that SQL
statement.  It should be:
UPDATE email_bank set country=personal_account_details.countryFROM personal_account_detailswhere userid > 0 and
userid=personal_account_details.userid ; 

> tradein_clients=# begin work;explain analyze UPDATE email_bank set
> country=personal_account_details.country where userid > 0 and

> Time: 669.57 ms

Hmmm ... 669 ms seems pretty speedy for updating 150,000 rows.   What's the
problem?
