For retrieving 18584 rows, doesn't sound that bad to me. (If the planner had had a better rowcount estimate, it'd likely have not bothered with the index at all but just done a seqscan. This is a consequence of the lack of any very useful stats for JSONB columns, which is something we hope to address soon; but it's not done in 9.4 and likely won't be in 9.5 either ...) 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
