To be precise it is taking 9 min to execute the query from table which has ~220 million records. Is there a way to make this query run faster and efficiently using order by count.

Table definition, query plan, etc https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Slow_Query_Questions Also, why "HAVING" ? Shouldn't you use WHERE ? Does the real query have conditions on event_date and process name or is that just for testing purposes? Justin
