Hi, After upgrading to 8.0.3 I see very poor performance on several indexes. Like this: (udps is a view on main) palga=> explain analyze select rapnaam from udps where naamvrouw like 'vos%'; QUERY PLAN -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Index Scan using nv on main (cost=0.00..242.65 rows=60 width=14) (actual time=6.475..11598.502 rows=5692 loops=1) Index Cond: (((naamvrouw)::text >= 'vos'::character varying) AND ((naamvrouw)::text < 'vot'::character varying)) Filter: ((naamvrouw)::text ~~ 'vos%'::text) Total runtime: 11606.250 ms (4 rows) The index was created with: CREATE INDEX nv ON main USING btree (naamvrouw); Database was recently analyzed. Clearly, something has to be tuned that didn't need tuning on 7.4.3 ? (Main table has about 1.7 million records). Any suggestions welcome.
