Thanx, i dont think that the issue here is to help postgresql by myself. I can always stick to 7.2.3, or use indexes that 7.3.1 will acknowledge, like noonf_vcode_date on noon (v_code,report_date). (unfortunately when i create the above noonf_vcode_date index, it is only used until the next vacuum analyze, hackers is this an issue too???), but these options are not interesting from a postgresql perspective :) > For this kind of queries it's better to drop index on report_date - your > report period is one year and answer to this condition is 10% records (I > suppose) I cannot drop the index on the report_date since a lot of other queries need it. > It would be better to change 2 indexes on v_code and rotation into one > index based on both fields. > What kind of queries do you have?
