Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 7.3 Operating system: linux Description: Queries slow down after restoring big db Details: We dumped a database with a lot of data using command pg_dump mydb > mydb.dump Then we reimported the data in this way: 1- createdb anotherdb 2- psql anotherdb < mydb.dump After the data was restored queries(SELECT queries, with JOINs) was very very slow. We solved the problem making a separate dump for the database schema and one for the data and then reimported first the schema and then the data. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
