Something fishy going on here. Why did it switch to a seqscan,
considering it still (mistakenly) thinks there are only going to be 10
or 20 rows matching the generar_vainilla condition? How many rows have
generar_vainilla equal to 's' or 'S', anyway?
In any case, the real problem is to get rid of the subselect at the
Now that I look at your original query, I see that what you really seem
to be after is the publications with latest pub date among each group with
identical id_instalacion, id_contenido, and generar_vainilla. You would
probably do well to reorganize the query using SELECT DISTINCT ON, viz
SELECT * FROM
(SELECT DISTINCT ON (id_instalacion, id_contenido, generar_vainilla)
...
FROM ...
WHERE ...
ORDER BY
id_instalacion, id_contenido, generar_vainilla, fecha_publicacion DESC)
AS ss
ORDER BY fecha_publicacion desc
LIMIT 10
OFFSET 0
See the "weather reports" example in the SELECT reference page for
motivation.
