Why would "count=14" be an interesting condition for deleting groups? > Seq Scan on dns_expired_domains (cost=0.00..55448724329.92 rows=324754 > width=6) > SubPlan > -> Materialize (cost=85370.33..85370.33 rows=64951 width=4) > -> Aggregate (cost=82122.79..85370.33 rows=64951 width=4) > -> Group (cost=82122.79..83746.56 rows=649508 width=4) > -> Sort (cost=82122.79..82122.79 rows=649508 > width=4) > -> Seq Scan on dns_expired_domains > (cost=0.00..10316.08 rows=649508 width=4) What are the *actual*, not estimated, row counts here --- ie, how many rows in the table, and how many distinct domain_ids are you typically deleting? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/faq.html
