Hi everyone ,I have a question. I have a table with large data (i was used bytea datatype and insert a binary content to table ) so that Postgres help me get a TOAST table to storage out-of-line values . Assume that my table is " tbl_test " and toast table oid is 16816 When i peform EXPLAIN ANALYZE select query on tbl_test ( EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT * FROM tbl_test).It show that sequential scan was performed on tbl_test ,but when i check pg_toast table with this query : SELECT relid, schemaname, relname, seq_scan, seq_tup_read, idx_scan, FROM pg_stat_all_tables WHERE relid IN ( SELECT oid FROM pg_class WHERE relkind = 't' ) AND relid = 16816 I saw that seq_tup_read = 0 and the seq_scan is always is 1 .idx_scan is increase arcording to the number of query on tbl_test I was wordering : Do have a sequential scan perform on tbl_test and other index scan will be peforming on TOAST after this sequential scan ? Can you explain this dump question to me ,please ? P/S : sorry for my bad English .Thanks ! :) -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/Perform-scan-on-Toast-table-tp5735406.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - performance mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
