Re: Join query on 1M row table slow

I disabled enable_hashagg and enable_nestloop. Appears
to have made both queries worse :(

QUERY 1:

=> explain analyze select p.* from product_categories
pc inner join products p on pc.product_id = p.id where
pc.category_id = 1016 order by p.title limit 25 offset
10000;

How exactly do I do that?

SELECT * from thanks limit 1000
