I was told that this RAID is software RAID.
I have no experience what to check.
This HP server was installed 3 years ago and in this time it was not
high perfomance server.

In real query, SELECT column list contains data form sales table dok (sale
date and time)
and sales detail table rid (quantity, price)
WHERE clause may contain additional filters from product table (product
category, supplier).

Thank you very much for great sample.
I tried to create testcase from this to match production db:

1.2 million orders
3.5 million order details
13400 products with char(20) as primary keys containing ean-13 codes mostly
3 last year data
every order has usually 1..3 detail lines
same product can appear multiple times in order
products are queried by start of code

This sample does not distribute products randomly between orders.
How to change this so that every order contains 3 (or 1..6 ) random
products?
I tried to use random row sample from
 http://www.pgsql.cz/index.php/PostgreSQL_SQL_Tricks-i

but in this case constant product is returned always. It seems than query
containing randon() is executed only once.
