Hi,
everything you need to know is available on the documentation at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/sql-explain.html.

"COSTS

Include information on the estimated startup and total cost of each plan node, as well as the estimated number of rows and the estimated width of each row. This parameter defaults to TRUE."

Best regards,
Anthony

Please help, how can I interpret the following results of my EXPLAIN query ?, I can see that the query will through 18586018 rows, but what’s the meaning of cost and width?

 

GroupAggregate  (cost=762381141.96..768375132.77 rows=18586018 width=32)
