Separate indexes aren't usefully combinable for a case like this --- in principle the thing could do a BitmapAnd, but the startup time would be pretty horrid, and the LIMIT 1 is discouraging it from trying that. If this is an important case to optimize then you need a 3-column index. 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
