QUERY PLAN ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hash Join (cost=19229.08..29478.99 rows=106492 width=6) Hash Cond: (x.pcap_storeid = a.pcap_storeid) -> Seq Scan on pcap_store x (cost=0.00..5617.84 rows=212984 width=10) -> Hash (cost=17533.93..17533.93 rows=106492 width=4) -> Hash Left Join (cost=6371.19..17533.93 rows=106492 width=4) Hash Cond: (a.pcap_storeid = b.pcap_storeid) Filter: (b.pcap_storeid IS NULL) -> Seq Scan on pcap_store a (cost=0.00..5617.84 rows=212984 width=4) -> Hash (cost=3099.75..3099.75 rows=205475 width=4) -> Seq Scan on pcap_store_log b (cost=0.00..3099.75 rows=205475 width=4) I know the costs are just relative, but I assumed cost=19229.08..29478.99 isn't 5 minutes of effort even on crappy hardware. Honestly, not complaining, 5 minutes is acceptable for this query (it's a one time thing) just surprised is all.
