Well, you're summarizing 55 million rows on an unindexed table: " -> Seq Scan on busbase (cost=0.00..6378172.28 rows=55402728 width=7) (actual time=0.004..250046.673 rows=60057057 loops=1)" ... that's where your time is going. My only suggestion would be to create a composite index which matches the group by condition on table1, and vacuum freeze the whole table so that you can use index-only scan on 9.2. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
