("Fast" is a copy from 1 am today). Why runtime is slower? I made another INDEX, without opclass: CREATE INDEX kredytob_pesel_typkred_idx   ON public.kredytob   USING btree   (pesel COLLATE pg_catalog."default", typkred); after that: analyze kredytob; And now: "Limit  (cost=333.31..333.31 rows=1 width=4) (actual time=0.100..0.102 rows=1 loops=1)" "  Output: id" "  Buffers: shared hit=8" "  ->  Sort  (cost=333.31..333.59 rows=114 width=4) (actual time=0.095..0.095 rows=1 loops=1)" "        Output: id" "        Sort Key: b.id DESC" "        Sort Method: top-N heapsort  Memory: 25kB" "        Buffers: shared hit=8" "        ->  Index Scan using kredytob_pesel_typkred_idx on public.kredytob b  (cost=0.43..332.74 rows=114 width=4) (actual time=0.046..0.065 rows=5 loops=1)" "              Output: id" "              Index Cond: (b.pesel = '22222222222'::bpchar)" "              Buffers: shared hit=8" "Planning time: 0.438 ms" "Execution time: 0.154 ms" So, what is a reason that "SLOW" server doesn't like opclass index? what is default locales? LATIN2 - that's why I use opclass. -- Andrzej
