Not from the information given. Presumably db1 thinks that the mergejoin plan would be slower, but why it thinks that isn't clear yet. Try setting enable_nestloop = off (and enable_hashjoin = off if it then wants a hashjoin) and then post the EXPLAIN ANALYZE results. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
