Hi, can you reply to the list?
This is a performance question now. You might want to start a new thread on
your performance issues.
Have you utilized indexes? (refer to Hash Cond)
Hash Cond: ((rauthor.rart_id)::text = (ritem.ut)::text)
look at "actual time=start..finish" on the planner process blocks and
also the
finish time of the preceding block.
Buffers: shared hit=104662 read=4745067, temp read=1006508 written=1006446
Give the specs of your hardware. More experience people will be able
to advise on getting the best out of this query.
Once you are reasonably happy with your schema you might want
to consider partitioning the larger datasets. You can also cache (temp)
blocks of data how you see appropriate (snapshots).
