But it didn't change as I added the sub select.
Thank you guys very much. The speed is now ok and I hope I can finish
tihs work soon.
But there is another problem. If I run this query without the
limitation of the user id, postgres consumes about 150GB of disk space
and dies with
ERROR: could not write block 25305351 of temporary file: No space
left on device
After that the avaiable disk space is back to normal.
Is this normal? The resulting table (setup1) is not bigger than 1.5 GB.
