No. The CREATE TABLE statement in my original message shows the primary key is (gr, val).

Note also that in the 1st option the optimiser will not use the same keys under the condition "where B.gr = 2". I don't understand why. So I forced the index in the 2nd option.

Would you then predict that the 2nd option be slower than the 1st option when table A is large? I haven't had time to try it yet.
