4s query want to run faster - Mailing list pgsql-performance

Hi all,

The following query takes about 4s to run in a 16GB ram server. Any ideas why it doesn´t use index for the primary keys in the join conditions?

select i.inuid, count(*) as total
from cte.instrumentounidade i
inner join cte.pontuacao p on p.inuid = i.inuid
inner join cte.acaoindicador ai on ai.ptoid = p.ptoid
inner join cte.subacaoindicador si on si.aciid = ai.aciid
where i.itrid = 2 and p.ptostatus = 'A'
group by i.inuid
having count(*) > 0
