Query 2 doesn't use any view and you can find the schema here: http://pastebin.com/Nkv7FwRr Query 1 use 5 views: ticket_cabecera, ticket_linea, reserva_cabecera, reserva_linea and tarifa_proveedor_modelo_precio, I have factored out the four first with the same result as before, you can find the new query and the new plan here: http://pastebin.com/7u2Dkyxp http://explain.depesz.com/s/2V9d Actually the execution time is worse than before. About the last view if I change join from tarifa_proveedor_modelo_precio to tarifa_modelo_precio (a table with nearly the same structure as the view) the query is executed much faster, but I get a similar time changing the (MIN(cab.time_stamp_recepcion)::DATE = ....) to (WHERE cab.time_stamp_recepcion::date = ....) in the "ent" subquery that never was a view. Anyway I included tarifa_modelo_precio to the query1 schema file for reference and you can find the plan using tarifa_modelo_precio instead of the view tarifa_proveedor_modelo_precio here: http://explain.depesz.com/s/4gV query1 schema file: http://pastebin.com/JpqM87dr Regards, Miguel Angel. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
