Other executions: Index Scan using assessoria_pkey on public.assessoria (cost=0.25..2.47 rows=1 width=62) (actual time=1.591..4.035 rows=1 loops=1) Output: asscod, asscambol Index Cond: (assessoria.asscod = 1) Buffers: shared hit=1187 Planning Time: 0.053 ms Execution Time: 4.055 ms Index Scan using assessoria_pkey on public.assessoria (cost=0.25..2.47 rows=1 width=62) (actual time=1.369..3.838 rows=1 loops=1) Output: asscod, asscambol Index Cond: (assessoria.asscod = 1) Buffers: shared hit=1187 Planning Time: 0.033 ms Execution Time: 3.851 ms ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But can you repeat it with "LIMIT 1"? Notice huge difference in "buffers hit" while doing (the same) Index Scan in two plans. Regards, Igor Neyman
