Thanks Laurenz Albe for reply.
Unfortunately this index is only frequently used during a certain period of time(such as 9:30am - 12:00am) .I usually encounter slow load of this index during some other time. Then it seems to me the only answer for this case would be the pgprewarm and pg_cron ? ------------------ Original ------------------ From: "Laurenz Albe"<laurenz.a...@cybertec.at>; Date: Mon, Aug 12, 2019 08:24 PM To: "James(王旭)"<wan...@gu360.com>; "pgsql-general"<pgsql-gene...@postgresql.org>; Subject: Re: How to gracefully keep my specific index in memory ?

If the indexes are frequently used, they should remain cached anyway. Yours, Laurenz Albe -- Cybertec | https://www.cybertec-postgresql.com
