I could be off-base here, but have you tried: ATLER TABLE $table ALTER COLUMN $json_column SET STORAGE EXTERNAL; ? The default storage for a JSONB field is EXTENDED. Switching it to EXTERNAL will disable compression. You'll have to insert your data over again, since this change doesn't alter any existing data, but see if that change improves performance. -- Bill Moran -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
