Thanks Florents,
I tried psql -c "select count(*)" . It has brought down the time from 30 minutes to 2 minutes.
Thanks alot.
Thanks Holger,
I'm going to try this query now.
Thanks,
Raj Kumar

Personally, whenever I’ve had slow count(*) or count (distinct id), eventually
I’ve resorted to Unix tools.
psql “select id from my_table" | sort -u | wc -l
The convenience/performance tradeoff depends heavily on your schema.
After all unix streams don’t know much about your integrity requirements.
