Hi all I have the following table with 10+ million records: create table ddetail ( ddet_id serial, co_id integer, client_id integer, doc_no varchar, line_id integer, batch_no integer, amount NUMERIC , ..., constraint PRIMAR KEY ( co_id , client_id , doc_no , line_id, ddet_id ) ) ; When doing the following query on this table, performance is really slow: SELECT co_id , client_id , doc_no , line_id , sum( amount ) FROM ddetail GROUP BY co_id , client_id , doc_no , line_id It seems as if the planner is not using the PRIMARY KEY as index which was my assumption. Can somebody please confirm whether aggregate functions such as GROUP BY should use indexes ?
