Thanks for your answers. I tried with > set session work_mem='250MB'; > set session geqo_threshold = 20; > set session join_collapse_limit = 20;
It seems to have no real impact : https://explain.depesz.com/s/CBVd Indeed an index cannot really be used for sorting here, based on the complexity of the returned fields. Wich strikes me is that if I try to simplify it a lot, removing all data but the main table (occtax.observation) primary key cd_nom and aggregate, the query plan should be able tu use the cd_nom index for sorting and provide better query plan (hash aggregate), but it does not seems so : * SQL ; http://paste.debian.net/hidden/c3ee7889/ * EXPLAIN : https://explain.depesz.com/s/FR3h -> a group aggregate is used, which : GroupAggregate 1 10,639.313 ms 72.6 % It is better, but I think 10s for such a query seems bad perf for me.
