Looks like Stephan made the right guess. Logically the LIMIT executes after the ORDER BY, so the sorted result has to be formed completely. The fact that we are able to optimize this in some cases does not represent a promise that we can do it in all cases. Ergo, it's not a bug. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
