RES: Help to find out problem with joined tables

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

I have made this test without any user connect and after vacuum and all
index recteated and tables analyzed.

Well, produt.codpro is SERIAL
And movest.codpro is NUMBER(8)

Thanks
Rodrigo

What version of PostgreSQL are you using?

How many updates/deletes do the tables see between vacuums?

Could you show the table definitions, or at least the definitions for the
relevant columns and indexes?

What type is produt.codpro? You might be missing a potential index scan
here due to mismatched types.

The times (2688.356..2875.743) here look odd, although I might be
overlooking or misinterpreting something. I don't know what else might
cause that, but one thing that can is a lot of dead tuples in the table,
hence my question about how much activity the tables see between vacuums.
Maybe somebody else can provide a better explanation.
