Since the PGADmin4 client timed out when creating the index, you picked my interest here and i was wondering if the index creation itself had failed... but:

\d tmp_outpatient_rev

Indexes:
    "ui_outprev_ptclaimline" UNIQUE, btree (desy_sort_key, claim_no, clm_line_num)
    "i_outprev_ptclaim" btree (desy_sort_key, claim_no)

So looks like the indices are file. I am pursuing some of the other recommendations you suggested before.


Thank you,

Laurent.

It would certainly be good to look at psql's \d tmp_outpatient_rev
output to ensure that the index is not marked as INVALID.
