Second , I would like to know if when re-creating one index ( non pk ) on a large table with already existing indexes, are All tables statistics being re-generated? ( there is a way to control persistency of old stats?) Isabella _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Without seeing execution plans (both: fast and slow) it's hard to tell. Auto_explain extension can help you catching these plans in PG log. Your temp tables - are they being analyzed?
