Re: about explain analyze

Tom, I am afraid that I don't understand. My first example:
wow=# explain analyze select max(click.accesses) from click;
QUERY PLAN
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aggregate (cost=1103.70..1103.70 rows=1 width=8) (actual
time=289.391..289.393 rows=1 loops=1)
-> Seq Scan on click (cost=0.00..971.36 rows=52936 width=8) (actual
time=0.013..133.943 rows=52936 loops=1)
Total runtime: 289.498 ms
(3 rows)

Time: 290,695 ms

select max() returns only one row... If you mean rows in Seq Scan than
gettimeofday was called (52936+1)*2. Huge value :(
