Unique indexes are used as proofs when deciding if a join to the relation is "inner_unique". A nested loop unique join is costed more cheaply than a non-unique one since we can skip to the next outer tuple once we've matched the current outer tuple to an inner tuple. In theory that's half as many comparisons for a non-parameterised nested loop. -- David Rowley http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list ([email protected]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
