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 -- M.P.Garcia PT Inovação, SA Serviços e Redes Móveis Rua José Ferreira Pinto Basto - 3810 Aveiro Tel: 234 403 253 - Fax: 234 424 160 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
