I am not sure what you mean by reformulate the data representation. Do you mean do I have to join on all three columns?

The most likely explanation for the bad rowcount estimates is that there is correlation between the regionid/countyid/cityid columns, only the planner doesn't know it. Can you reformulate that data representation at all, or at least avoid depending on it as a join key? 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
