Well, that's the downside of increasing join_collapse_limit and from_collapse_limit: you might get a better plan, but it takes a lot longer to get it because the planner is considering many more options. If you're sufficiently desperate, you could consider rewriting the query so that its JOIN structure matches the join order that the planner chooses at the high collapse_limit settings. Then you can reduce the limits back down and it'll still find the same plan. This tends to suck from a query readability/maintainability standpoint though :-(. The prepared-query approach might offer a solution too, if the good plan isn't dependent on specific parameter values. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
