OK, on the command line, try increasing the sort_mem until hash_agg can work. With a 4 gig machine, you should be able to go as high as needed here, I'd think. Try as high as 500000 or so or more. Then when explain analyze works, compare the actual versus estimated number of rows. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
