which version? I have 8.1 and on a table with 1.9 million records i got: scholl=# explain analyse select * from bde_meldungen limit 10; QUERY PLAN ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Limit (cost=0.00..0.34 rows=10 width=157) (actual time=19.570..19.660 rows=10 loops=1) -> Seq Scan on bde_meldungen (cost=0.00..65748.33 rows=1957933 width=157) (actual time=19.565..19.587 rows=10 loops=1) Total runtime: 19.845 ms (3 rows) If I remember correctly, since 8.0 or 8.1 we have a massive improvement with LIMIT.
