Yes.&nbsp; <br>
This is what I do.<br>
1. Vacuum full<br>
2. Reindex force<br>
This is done ever night<br>
<br>
My users complained about a report being slow.<br>
<br>
I grabbed a dump and restored it to my development machine.<br>
<br>
The query worked just fine, but not on the production server.<br>
<br>
I did a vacuum full and then reran the query.&nbsp; Now it performs just as
slow as on the production machine.&nbsp; That is the only change I made.<br>
<br>
I am in the process of trying to figure out the EXPLAIN ANALYZE for
both queries, but I have never had to read this output and I am
unfamiliar with how to find the problem.&nbsp; I will post both here and
maybe someone can help me out.<br>

If you run it a second time after the vacuum full?
