Perhaps you
mean explain verbose, though I don't really see how that'd be so long
either, but it'd be closer. Could you provide some more sane
information?
My mistake - there was 4,000 lines in the EXPLAIN ANALYZE VERBOSE
output.
Here is the output of EXPLAIN ANALYZE:
QUERY PLAN
"Seq Scan on ntdn (cost=0.00..3471884.39 rows=1221391 width=1592)
(actual
time=57292.580..1531300.003 rows=1221391 loops=1)"
"Total runtime: 4472646.988 ms"
Have you been vacuuming or running autovacuum?
If you keep running queries like this you're certianly going to have
a ton of dead tuples, which would def explain these times too.
