Re: Help with a seq scan on multi-million row table

Hello Andrew, Markus, and Tom - thanks for all the help!  You've just helped a large Simpy community! :) I'll try to
postsome performance charts to http://blog.simpy.com/ shortly.  In short, this immediately dropped the load from
2-3-4-5-6-7+to circa 0.25.
 

Thanks!
Otis

No.  Just ALTER TABLE [name] ALTER [column] SET STATISTICS.  See
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/sql-altertable.html
for more.  You'll need to ANALYSE afterwards.
