Hi,

The following query

SELECT START_DATE_IDX, COUNT(*)
FROM RUNINFO_HISTORY
WHERE START_DATE_IDX>=1005
group by START_DATE_IDX

runs for about 200s on Postgres, but 13s on MS SQL Server, on the same
machine.
The searched column is indexed.
By reading the "explain" you can tell that the index is being used.

Any idea?

Have you been running VACUUM on the table?
