Greetings!! I'm not sure why the query is not using the gist index in the table base.parishes. Any suggestions? ______________________________________________ CREATE TABLE base.parishes ( gid serial NOT NULL, parish text, "COUNT" integer, "SUM_AREA" double precision, "SUM_ELECTO" double precision, the_geom geometry, CONSTRAINT parishes_pkey PRIMARY KEY (gid), CONSTRAINT enforce_dims_the_geom CHECK (st_ndims(the_geom) = 2), CONSTRAINT enforce_srid_the_geom CHECK (st_srid(the_geom) = 3448) ) WITH ( OIDS=FALSE ); ALTER TABLE base.parishes OWNER TO postgres; -- Index: base.gfd7ir67uftyujrth7ji68t678jttyrdgd -- DROP INDEX base.gfd7ir67uftyujrth7ji68t678jttyrdgd; CREATE INDEX gfd7ir67uftyujrth7ji68t678jttyrdgd ON base.parishes USING gist (the_geom); ______________________________________________ The query: ______________________________________________ with mnme as ( select generate_series(600000,840000,2) mn, generate_series(610000,710000,2)me ), points as (select st_makepoint(mn,me), parish from mnme inner join base.parishes on st_intersects(setsrid(st_makepoint(mn,me),3448),the_geom)) select * from points ______________________________________________ -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
