I have often been unable to get optimal plans without boosting the value of cpu_tuple_cost (in addition to adjusting the page costs and setting effective_cache_size). Generally 0.03 is enough, although I have personally never seen problems with going up to 0.05, and that sometimes fixes a few plans that 0.03 misses. -- Kevin Grittner EDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
