Hi Thanks everybody. I have confirmed that this does not affect inserts. But the query performance has improved a lot.

I was just wondering if this could have an impact on the inserts since I guess this change is on the database. enable_seqscan shouldn't affect plain inserts, but it will affect *every* query in the system. I would suggest using setting "prepareThreshold=0" in the JDBC driver connection URL, or calling pstmt.setPrepareThreshold(0) in the application. That tells the driver not to use server-side prepare, and the query will be re-planned every time you execute it with the real values of the parameters. -- Heikki Linnakangas EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend **************** CAUTION - Disclaimer ***************** This e-mail contains PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION intended solely for the use of the addressee(s).
