hello stephen, this seems like more a developer question to me than a pre performance one. it is not related to the table structure at all - it is basically an issue with incredibly large inheritance lists. it applies to postgres 9 and most likely to everything before. postgresql.conf is not relevant at all at this point. the plan is pretty fine. the question is rather: does anybody see a chance to handle such lists more efficiently inside postgres? also, it is not the point if my data structure is sane or not. it is really more generic - namely a shortcut for this case inside the planing process. many thanks, hans -- Cybertec Schönig & Schönig GmbH Gröhrmühlgasse 26 A-2700 Wiener Neustadt, Austria Web: http://www.postgresql-support.de -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
