Hi, Is it possible to get this query run faster than it does now, by adding indexes, changing the query? SELECT customers.objectid FROM prototype.customers, prototype.addresses WHERE customers.contactaddress = addresses.objectid ORDER BY zipCode asc, housenumber asc LIMIT 1 OFFSET 283745 Explain: Limit (cost=90956.71..90956.71 rows=1 width=55) -> Sort (cost=90247.34..91169.63 rows=368915 width=55) Sort Key: addresses.zipcode, addresses.housenumber -> Hash Join (cost=14598.44..56135.75 rows=368915 width=55) Hash Cond: ("outer".contactaddress = "inner".objectid) -> Seq Scan on customers (cost=0.00..31392.15 rows=368915 width=80) -> Hash (cost=13675.15..13675.15 rows=369315 width=55) -> Seq Scan on addresses (cost=0.00..13675.15 rows=369315 width=55) The customers table has an index on contactaddress and objectid. The addresses table has an index on zipcode+housenumber and objectid.
When the resulting relation contains all the info from both tables, indexes won't help, seq scan is inevitable.
