Hi Jesper,
Thanks your response:
psrdb=# \timing
Timing is on.
psrdb=# (SELECT
psrdb(# MAX(item_rank.rank) AS maxRank
psrdb(# FROM
psrdb(# item_rank item_rank
psrdb(# WHERE
psrdb(# item_rank.project_id='proj2783'
psrdb(# AND item_rank.pf_id IS NULL
psrdb(#
psrdb(# )
psrdb-# ORDER BY
psrdb-# maxRank DESC;
maxrank
-------------
20200000000
(1 row)

Time: 12.947 ms

It really seems to me that it should take less time.

Specially when I see the result with a different where clause like
this one:
psrdb=# SELECT
psrdb-# MAX(item_rank.rank) AS maxRank
psrdb-# FROM
psrdb-# item_rank item_rank
psrdb-# WHERE
psrdb-# item_rank.pf_id='plan1408'
psrdb-# ORDER BY
psrdb-# maxRank DESC;
maxrank
-------------
20504000000
(1 row)

Time: 2.582 ms

Thanks,
Anne
