Hi,
the complete query is the one i posted, but here comes the schema for mytable:
entry_no int8 NOT NULL DEFAULT nextval('entry_no_seq''::regclass),
pid varchar(15) NOT NULL,
crit varchar(13) NOT NULL,
val1 varchar(1),
val2 varchar(1),
aendat text,
aennam varchar(8),
CONSTRAINT "PK_ENTRY" PRIMARY KEY (entry_no)
myCritTable:
crit varchar(13) NOT NULL,
chr int2,
aendat timestamp,
CONSTRAINT pk_crit_master PRIMARY KEY (crit)
Still doesn't match the EXPLAIN output - where's snp_id? Where's table
test2?
My server is 8.1.4. As a matter of fact, i have no idea where the text

PG is casting it to text. There's no real difference between the types
(other than the size limit) and it's not expensive.

Hi,
can you post the complete query,schema- and
table-definition,server-version etc. ?
This will help to identity the main problem.
So at the moment i'm just guessing:
Hash Cond: (("outer".snp_id)::text = ("inner".snp_id)::text)
-> Bitmap Heap Scan on test2 (cost=232.92..132766.66 rows=37120
width=23)
(actual time=291.600..356707.737 rows=37539 loops=1)
This part is very expensive, but i got no clue why.
Yep, it looks like the "Bitmap Heap Scan" is at the heart of this. You
might want to increase work_mem, it could be that the bitmap is spilling
to disk (which is much slower than keeping it all in RAM)

If it's still at 1MB (1024), try 5MB, 10MB, 50MB and see what happens.
