Re: Query Performance SQL Server vs. Postgresql

Hello

I don't know. I checked similar query on similar dataset (size), and I
have a times about 3 sec on much more worse notebook. So problem can
be in disk IO operation speed - maybe in access to TOASTed value.

it's has a little bit different meaning. work_mem is just limit, so
"memory usage" must not be great than work_mem ever. if then pg
increase "butches" number - store data to blocks on disk. Higher
work_mem ~ less butches. So ideal is 1 butches.
