Sorry, I think you may have misinterpreted the results, which is my fault - I introduced a formatting error. In the case of the "btree" spreadsheet, the first query on each sheet should be "create index test on orderlines (prod_id);", and not "select * from orderlines order by prod_id". The idea is to compare the results from each set of binaries across pages of the spreadsheet (note that there are two tabs). You should not compare anything between the two spreadsheets. Revised btree results attached. The heap results that I posted do not have any formatting errors, so they have not been revised. -- Peter Geoghegan http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training and Services
