Thank you. It makes query fast.

I have W2K server with 0.5 GB RAM
there are only 6 connections open ( 6 point of sales) to this server.
shared_buffes is 10000
I see approx 10 postgres processes in task manager each taking about 30 MB
ram
Server prefomance is very slow: Windows swap file size is 1 GB
For each sale a new row will be inserted to this table. So the file size
grows rapidly every day.
Changing work_mem by 1 MB increares memory requirment by 10 MB since I may
have 10 processes running. Sorting in memory this table requires very large
amout of work_mem for each process address space.
I think that if I increase work_mem then swap file will became bigger and
perfomance will decrease even more.
How to increase perfomance ?
