1. Try adding another 5 million rows to the test "traffic" table and
see if that makes any difference. It shouldn't.
Opps.
1. Step
drop table testnode
cascade;
drop table
traffic;
CREATE TABLE testnode (node integer, nodename text, PRIMARY KEY
(node));
CREATE TABLE traffic (id SERIAL, node integer NOT NULL, ts TIMESTAMP(0)
WITH TIME ZONE NOT NULL, msg text);
INSERT INTO testnode SELECT s, 'node number ' || s FROM
generate_series(1,25) s;
INSERT INTO traffic (id, node, ts, msg) SELECT s, 11,
'epoch'::timestamptz + s * '1 second'::interval, null FR
OM generate_series(1,15999999)
s;
ALTER TABLE traffic ADD CONSTRAINT traffic_node_fkey FOREIGN KEY (node)
REFERENCES testnode (node) ON UPDATE RESTRICT ON DELETE
RESTRICT;
CREATE INDEX traffic_node_idx ON traffic
(node);
BEGIN;
EXPLAIN ANALYSE DELETE FROM testnode WHERE

3. Step Recreate data with 4999999 rows (SAME DIFFERENT results on first

You comments?
2. Run a "vacuum verbose sf_ipv4traffic" and see if there's a lot of
dead rows. I shouldn't have thought there are.
No dead rows.
