Apparently nextval on that sequence gets called multiple times in your queries. > Also, is it necessary to create index for measurement_id found in > measurement's child table? I am concern on the read speed. Serials don't create indexes, only a sequence. Primary keys create indexes (to guarantee uniqueness) - foreign keys do not. So yes, you want an index on that column in the child table.
