I think the problem is not there at all, but with drastic underestimation of the number of rows coming from f_pageviews: > -> Seq Scan on f_pageviews t1 > (cost=0.00..585486.72 rows=1 width=24) (actual > time=60502.415..-463715.543 rows=24422838 loops=1) > Filter: ((date_key >= 496) AND > (date_key <= 502)) The plan you say is failing is trying to load this result into a hashtable ... and since it's only expecting 1 row, it's not going to try to partition the hashtable or anything like that. Are your ANALYZE stats for f_pageviews up to date? Perhaps you need to increase the stats target for date_key to get more resolution in the stats. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
