If the table really has 300K rows, then something else is wrong. One likely candidate is if cd_pessoa is int8 there is a quirk in postgres (which is fixed in 8.0) where comparing that column to an int4 constant won't use an index scan. This can be worked around by either casting the constant (e.g. 1::int8) or quoting it (e.g. '1') to delay fixing the type so that it will be taken to be an int8 constant. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
