Hi,

if I got it right the reason some aggregates (such as COUNT) using only index 
columns are "slow" on postgresql is that it uses MVCC, so it has to read the 
data as well as the index. It makes sense to me, but I don't understand is how 
other databases (such as Oracle) do it.
Can someone explain? 

Thank you.
