These are the items I changed. In the development box I turned random page cost to .2 because I figured it would all be faster using an index as all my data is at a minimum being selected by clientnum. But the analyze I sent in is from these settings above on a windows box. If I was running the analyze (pgadmin) on a windows box but connecting to a linux box would the times be accurate or do I have to run the analyze on the linux box for that to happen? I am a little unclear why I would need an index on associate by location as I thought it would be using indexes in location and jobtitle for their joins. I did not say where locationid = x in my query on the view. I have so much to learn about SQL.
