I think you have made several cut-and-paste errors here, because the plans you are exhibiting aren't legal for the queries you say they are for. Nor do I see a reason that the planner would use, eg, a Sort step for a query with no ORDER BY. Have you perhaps been fooling with the various enable_xxx options to try to force the planner to do what you think it should do? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
