According to the documentation pgsql adds indexes for primary keys automatically so (b.itemID, b.indexNumber) is indexed. Or do you think adding an extra idnex for b.itemID alone will help? If I understand the documentation correctly, pqSQL can use the first column of a multi-column index as if it was indexed individually... but maybe I'm wrong here. >> I have two tables: >> A: ItemID (PK), IsssueID (Indexed) >> B: ItemID (FK), IndexNumber : PK(ItemID, IndexNumber) -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
