Re: Query w empty result set with LIMIT orders of magnitude slower than without (SOLVED, pls disregard)

Eh, there was a spurious join in that query which was created by an
ORM which messed things up apparently. Sorry for the noise. This
abstracted version of the original query that does the same is fast:

woome=> EXPLAIN ANALYZE
SELECT *
FROM webapp_invite i
INNER JOIN webapp_person p ON (i.id = p.id)
WHERE p.is_suspended = false
AND p.is_banned = false
AND i.woouser = 'suggus'
ORDER BY i.id DESC LIMIT 5;
