You can turn off the "fastupdate" index parameter to disable that, but I think there may be a penalty in index bloat as well as insertion speed. It would be better to use a more conservative work_mem (work_mem, not maintenance_work_mem, is what limits the amount of stuff accumulated during normal inserts). 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
