Re: Speeding up query, Joining 55mil and 43mil records.

Hi Nicky,

Did you tried to create an index to avoid the sequential scans?

Seq Scan on src_faktuur_verrsec t0...

I think, you should try

CREATE INDEX src.src_faktuur_verrsec_codesubstr ON
src.src_faktuur_verrsec (substr(src.src_faktuur_verrsec.code,1,2))

Cheers
Sven.
