Re: Performance of query - Mailing list pgsql-performance

But, I do have an index on Table1 on the state field which is in my group by condition:

CREATE INDEX statidx2

  ON table1

  USING btree

  (state COLLATE pg_catalog."default" );

I have vacuumed the table too.

Well, you're summarizing 55 million rows on an unindexed table:

"        ->  Seq Scan on busbase  (cost=0.00..6378172.28 rows=55402728
width=7) (actual time=0.004..250046.673 rows=60057057 loops=1)"

... that's where your time is going.

My only suggestion would be to create a composite index which matches
the group by condition on table1, and vacuum freeze the whole table so
that you can use index-only scan on 9.2.
