BEFORE (copy of the db without having run the vacuum):
explain analyze SELECT * FROM utente where luogorilasciodoc='ciao';
QUERY PLAN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------
Seq Scan on utente (cost=0.00..40947.90 rows=1826 width=724) (actual
time=131.17..856.96 rows=15 loops=1)
Filter: (luogorilasciodoc = 'ciao'::bpchar)
Total runtime: 857.06 msec
(3 rows)
AFTER (actual db)
portaportese=# explain analyze SELECT * FROM utente where luogorilasciodoc='ciao';
QUERY PLAN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------
Seq Scan on utente (cost=0.00..92174.50 rows=3 width=724) (actual
time=705.41..6458.19 rows=15 loops=1)
Filter: (luogorilasciodoc = 'ciao'::bpchar)
Total runtime: 6458.29 msec
(3 rows
Things are worst only for seqscan, when it uses indexscan timing is good.
