It seems unlikely that we would do that, because that would break existing stored UUIDs, and we'd also need to figure out a way to store non-v1 UUIDs under this different scheme. The use case is pretty narrow compared to the enormous effort. It is well understood that using UUIDs or other somewhat-random keys perform worse than serial-like keys. Btw., it might be nice to rerun your tests with PostgreSQL 12beta1. The btree storage has gotten some improvements. I don't think it's going to fundamentally solve your problem, but it would be useful feedback. -- Peter Eisentraut http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
