I think your problem is here: > PostgreSQL 8.0.3 on i386-redhat-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC > i386-redhat-linux-gcc (GCC) 4.0.0 20050505 (Red Hat 4.0.0-4) Recent versions are significantly smarter about grouping operations than that dinosaur. (Even if you must stay on 8.0.x, you should at least be running 8.0.something-recent; what you have is full of security and data-loss risks. 8.0.24 was released this week.) 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
