hi all, I have a strange problem and really wish to get some help in here.
I have the following tables create table shr_objects( objectid int8 not null companyid int4 not null name varchar(255) description varchar(255) ) primary key : object id foreign key on companyid references shr_companies(companyid) Index on companyid Number of rows ~ 1,410,000 create table smb_contacts{ contactid int4 not null objectid int8 not null firstname varchar(255) lastname varchar(255) ) primary key : contactid foreign key on objectid references shr_objects9objectid) index on : objectid Number of rows ~ 10,000 I am trying to execute a query that joins the 2 tables on object id , it works fine but when i add an order clause the performance is degarded dramatically. I have included both quiries with their excution plan.
