Hi all,
A retry of the question asked before. All tables freshly vacuumed an analized.
Two queries: one with "set enable_seqscan = on" , the other with "set enable_seqscan = off". The first query lasts
59403ms, the second query 31 ms ( the desc order variant has the same large difference: 122494 ms vs. 1297 ms). (for
thequery plans see below).
Can I, without changing the SQL (because it is generated by a tool) or explicitely setting "set enable_seqscan = off"
forthis query, trick PostgreSQL in taking the fast variant of the queryplan?
TIA
Groeten,
