Hi Richard, RH> As you can see, the plan is still scanning all the rows. In any case, RH> you've changed the query - this has % at the beginning and end, which no RH> index will help you with. I realize that, the index definately helped a lot with the query where the % is just at the end. The time went down to 0.203 ms after I changed the index to varchar_pattern_ops. Index Scan using idx_image_title on image (cost=0.00..6.01 rows=1 width=1311) (actual time=0.027..0.108 rows=33 loops=1) Index Cond: (((title)::text ~>=~ 'Davorka'::character varying) AND ((title)::text ~<~ 'Davorkb'::character varying)) Filter: ((title)::text ~~ 'Davorka%'::text) Total runtime: 0.203 ms Although 13 sec. for the first select seems a bit odd, I think after the Database-Cache on the Table kicks in, it should be fine with ~500 ms Best regards Manuel
