Maybe a hash aggregate is not a good idea in this case. Try applying ANALYZE to the table before the SELECT INTO, and EXPLAIN again. Or execute "SET enable_hashagg TO off" before the SELECT INTO. Food for thought: do we need to make the HashAggregate code able to save to disk if the space estimate turns out to be wrong? -- Alvaro Herrera (<alvherre[a]dcc.uchile.cl>) "Uno combate cuando es necesario... ¡no cuando está de humor!
