Hi,

How, according to EXPLAIN ANALYZE, the Sort node could return more rows 
as output (rows=767662), than it had for input from its child node 
(rows=135627)?

->  Merge Join  .... (actual time=1977.388..333626.072 rows=725757 loops=1)
       ->  Index Scan using .... (actual time=0.013..312144.441 
rows=49176765 loops=1)
       ->  Sort  .... (actual time=1977.363..2274.092 rows=767662 loops=1)
             ->  Hash Left Join  .... (actual time=97.123..1887.956 
rows=135627 loops=1)

(full plan attached, PostgreSQL 9.3)

Regards,
Vitaliy
