Late response here, but... Is there an index on invsensor (sensor_id, granule_id)? If not, that might be something to try. If so, you might want to try to figure out why it's not being used. Likewise, is there an index on gran_ver (granule_id)? -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
