Is it the right-hand input of a merge join? If so you're looking at mark/restore rescans, ie, repeated fetches of the same tuples. There must be a huge number of duplicate join keys in that relation to make for such an increase though. Normally the planner avoids putting a table with lots of duplicates as the RHS of a merge, but if it doesn't have good statistics for the join key then it might not realize the problem. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
