The article seems to have changed since I commented.

Why don't he use GROUP BY on indexed columns was my first thought also.

I guess we just have to patiently wait for the OP to hopefully read Postgres documentation from postgreSQL 10.x before correcting the article again.

    Because it has the same issue.

    SELECT DISTINCT and GROUP BY are equivalent from a query planner perspective.

  • Does that fix it? Why would people be trying to add new index scanning modes if that's enough to fix it?

    Someone else said it doesn't.
