Hi,

I've a table "send_total" like this:

                                      Table "send_total"
  Column   |           Type           |                      
Modifiers                       
-----------+--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
 id        | integer                  | not null default
nextval('"send_total_id_seq"'::text)
 smsdate   | timestamp with time zone | 
 idclient  | integer                  | not null
 recv      | integer                  | default 0
 send      | integer                  | default 0
 recv_conf | integer                  | default 0
 send_conf | integer                  | default 0
 conf0     | integer                  | default 0
 conf1     | integer                  | default 0
 conf2     | integer                  | default 0
 conf3     | integer                  | default 0
 conf4     | integer                  | default 0
 conf5     | integer                  | default 0
 conf6     | integer                  | default 0
 conf7     | integer                  | default 0
Indexes: send_total_idclient_idx,
         send_total_smsdate_idx
Primary key: send_total_pkey
Unique keys: send_total_idclismsdate
(idclient and smsdate must be unique)


The problem is that my query is too slow when i use distinct:

pgsql> explain analyze SELECT distinct(smsdate) FROM send_total;

NOTICE:  QUERY PLAN:

Unique  (cost=15840.31..15870.81 rows=1220 width=8) (actual
time=56358.93..56452.78 rows=6670 loops=1)
  ->  Sort  (cost=15840.31..15840.31 rows=12203 width=8) (actual
time=56358.91..56436.95 rows=12062 loops=1)
        ->  Seq Scan on send_total  (cost=0.00..15012.03 rows=12203
width=8) (actual time=0.55..56205.25 rows=12062 loops=1)
Total runtime: 56518.26 msec


This query is becoming slower and slower, day by day.
What i have to do to optimize my query or database??? I've this database
working since January 2002.

I've tried to make the following command, but without success:

$ /usr/bin/vacuumdb -z -d dbname -t send_total



Thanks in advance,


M.P.Garcia
