As I mentioned before, that's not how that works. Those are estimates. If those rows are actually different between the two tables, then your data is different between the two databases and you can't expect the performance to be the same. Additionally, the part you snip out below isn't the part that's different. In particular, the difference is coming from the fact that one of the plans uses modis and the other uses modis_noout. Does modis exist in indb? Does modis_noout exist on outdb? What is the difference between these two tables? Because _that_ is where the time difference is most likely happening (based on the explain output). Additionally, run EXPLAIN ANALYZE on these queries to get the actual times in addition to the estimates. Furthermore, given that a lot of the confusion in this question is due to a lack of iformation, it would be a good idea to include the table definitions. > OUT DB > CTE rast_select > > -> Nested Loop (cost=0.28..76131.41 rows=62033 *width=1086)* > > -> CTE Scan on poly s (cost=0.00..62.18 rows=3109 width=250) > > > In DB > Nested Loop (cost=0.28..51767.41 rows=62033 *width=272*) > > -> CTE Scan on poly s (cost=0.00..62.18 rows=3109 width=250) > > On Wed, May 27, 2015 at 4:31 PM, PT <wmoran@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > On Tue, 26 May 2015 12:52:24 -0500 > > David Haynes II <dahaynes@xxxxxxx> wrote: > > > > > Hello, > > > > > > I have a question about the query optimizer and its performance on > > spatial > > > datasets, specifically rasters.
