You're forming a cross product of the relevant log lines with the k1 rows having description = 'Raumsolltemperatur' (I assume this isn't unique, else it's not clear what the point is) and then the subsequent left join cannot get rid of anything. I think probably you meant something different, like FROM log l LEFT OUTER JOIN log_details d1 ON l.id = d1.fk_id LEFT OUTER JOIN key_description k1 ON k1.description = 'Raumsolltemperatur' AND d1.fk_keyid = k1.keyid 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
