I just did it. Built and installed 8.2.5. Copied the postgresql.conf
from the production. Issued an analyze and ran the insert query twice:
fahstats=> insert into usuarios (
fahstats(> data,
fahstats(> usuario,
fahstats(> pontos,
fahstats(> wus
fahstats(> )
fahstats-> select
fahstats-> (select data_serial from data_serial) as data,
fahstats-> ui.usuario_serial as usuario,
fahstats-> sum(pontos) as pontos,
fahstats-> sum(wus) as wus
fahstats-> from usuarios_temp as ut inner join usuarios_indice as ui
fahstats-> on ut.usuario = ui.usuario_nome and ut.n_time = ui.n_time
fahstats-> group by data, ui.usuario_serial
fahstats-> ;
INSERT 0 880479
Time: 384991.682 ms
The second time it ran in 403 sec, half the production time.
