We don't know. You don't tell us what version you're running, show

explain analyze delete from firma1.rid where dokumnr not in (select dokumnr

produces
"Seq Scan on rid (cost=7703.59..98570208.00 rows=101210 width=6) (actual
time=7269933.877..7269933.877 rows=0 loops=1)"
" Filter: (NOT (subplan))"
" SubPlan"
