The script iterates over a few variations of string patterns (easy comparisons vs hard comparisons), work mem (4MB, 64MB, 256MB, 1GB, 4GB), and table sizes (~350M, ~650M, ~1.5G). That particular case I believe is using work_mem=4MB, easy strings, 1.5GB table. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
