Hi,

I have a java app that uses hibernate to do queries.

One query on a 6.5 millions records takes about 15 seconds while the
same one (take from the sql that shows in the consol - I configured
hibernate to show_sql) takes about 50 ms when done with pgadmin3.

This is a simple select. Here is the log of pgsql:

<postgres%patient_record> LOG: 00000: statement: select notevalue0_.id
as id, notevalue0_.value_note as value2_3_, notevalue0_.actif as
actif3_, notevalue0_.id_note as id4_3_, notevalue0_.id_field_name as
id5_3_ from note.note_value notevalue0_ where notevalue0_.id_note=$1 and
notevalue0_.actif=1

The $1 value is a simple integer and is a foreign key for another table.
There were 4 rows only meeting this criteria. Can you explain to me the
executor statistics? Why does it do 44305 read?

This query will be a stopper for us if not faster... :-( Apart from
this, we love postgres...

Thanks for any help.
