If I'm reading that right, you're building an array containing 2537787 entries, each of which is a composite datum containing two columns of unmentioned datatypes. I suspect a big chunk of your runtime is going into manipulating that array -- PG is not terribly efficient with big arrays containing variable-width values. I'm also a bit confused as to why the planner is saying that the (SELECT ARRAY(...)) bit is an InitPlan and not a SubPlan. That implies that "field7" in the innermost WHERE clause is not a reference to table1 but a reference to table2. Is that really what you meant? IOW, are you sure this query is performing the right calculation in the first place? regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
