Hi. With this table (about 800 000 rows):

   "n_traffic_login_id" btree (login_id)
   "n_traffic_login_id_collect_time" btree (login_id, collect_time)
Foreign-key constraints:
   "n_traffic_login_id_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (login_id) REFERENCES
n_logins(login_id) ON UPDATE CASCADE
   "n_traffic_traftype_id_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (traftype_id) REFERENCES
n_traftypes(traftype_id) ON UPDATE CASCADE

Why do you have indexes on both LOGIN_ID *and* LOGIN_ID + COLLECT_TIME?

ISTM that you can drop the LOGIN_ID index.
Hmm... Will queries that use only login_id and not collect_time use the (login_id, collect_time) index?
