I will try it: scholl=# \timing Timing is on. scholl=# select count(1) from bde_meldungen ; count --------- 1813210 (1 row) Time: 1925.471 ms scholl=*# select count(1) from bde_meldungen where datum = current_date-'1day'::interval; count ------- 2694 (1 row) Time: 5.670 ms Btw: yes, the table has more rows than the table from the origin poster and the count(1) is much faster. Perhaps he should show us an 'explain analyse'. My guess: many dead tuples.
