Re: PostgreSQL does CAST implicitely between int and a domain derived from int

Dear Kevin,

Thanks for help!

Could you run this?:

set work_mem = '50MB';
set effective_cache_size = '1GB';

rollback transaction;

Does not show any result because of ROLLBACK;
The query executes in 89 ms.

I am turning to configurator, stay tuned.
Again,thanks for your help.
