This is equivalent and fast: explain analyze WITH rare AS ( select * from talent where skills @> array[15]) select * from rare where skills @> array[1] -- (with changed operator) You might variate your query according to an additional table that keeps the occurrence count of all skills. Not really pretty though. regards, Marc Mamin -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
