No need to restart pg, just analyze is good enough (vacuumdb -z will do). After that, compare your explain analyze output and see if the estimates are any better. If they're better but not good enough, try increasing stats target to something like 500 or 1000 (max is 1000) and reanalyze and see if that helps. If not, post the new explain analyze and we'll take another whack at it. -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
