Give the schema of your table. Give the exact query/queries you are running.

These queries are taking lots of time. I dropped all indices on the table which provided some improvement but not remarkable performance. I am looking for ways to improve it. Can someone suggest what all can be done to improve it. These queries are being executed from within a pl/pgsql function.
