Hi,

I need some help with this query, which is currently taking minutes to run
(it needs to be seconds!).

SELECT
UPPER(teams.team_name),
players.first_name,
players.last_name,
NULL,
teams.id,
brackets.court,
teams.team_number
FROM
teams JOIN
players ON (teams.id = players.team) JOIN
brackets ON (teams.id = brackets.team)
WHERE
players.player_number = 1 AND
teams.complete AND
brackets.court = 580
ORDER BY
brackets.game_order,
teams.team_name
;

When I run it with EXPLAIN I get ...

Sort (cost=3.15..3.15 rows=1 width=60)
-> Nested Loop (cost=0.00..3.14 rows=1 width=60)
-> Nested Loop (cost=0.00..2.12 rows=1 width=48)
-> Seq Scan on players (cost=0.00..1.05 rows=1 width=28)
-> Seq Scan on teams (cost=0.00..1.04 rows=2 width=20)
-> Seq Scan on brackets (cost=0.00..1.01 rows=1 width=12)

Now the indexes I have are:
On table players - unique btree on id
- unique btree on team, player_number
On table teams - unique btree on id
On table brackets - btree on court
- btree on team
- unique btree on court, team

This is on version 7.1.3. Would upgrading to 7.2 make it faster?
