No, those aren't the same plans. In particular what's bothering me is the lack of any sort in the first plan you showed (the one with HashAggregate at the top). That shouldn't be possible because of the ORDER BY --- a hash aggregate will deliver unsorted output so there should be a sort step above it. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
