Try to reduce random_page cost to 2, which biased planner towards index scans, (set random_page = 2 before the query; assuming that default seq_page_cost and random_page_cost are 1 and 4 respectively) and run "explain analyze". Sometimes is worth to disable nested loops join (set enable_nestloop = off). Finally you can increase default_statistics_target (or ALTER TABLE SET STATISTICS) to 100 (8.4 has this as a default) on selected columns or table (and run analyze on that table). -- Ondrej Ivanic (ondrej.ivanic@xxxxxxxxx) -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
