Had the query running for over 48 hours but now it had crashed. Any idea on
how to optimize for speed and stability?

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS globshortrel;

SELECT
gid,
((foo.geomval).val),
CAST (SUM(ST_Area((foo.geomval).geom)) AS decimal(7,5)) as area,
CAST(SUM(ST_Area((foo.geomval).geom))/0.25*100 AS decimal(6,4)) as
percentarea,
CAST (SUM(ST_Area((foo.geomval).geom))/0.0000077160617284 AS int) AS npixels
INTO globshortrel
FROM (SELECT globshort.rid, priogrid_land.cell, priogrid_land.gid,
ST_Intersection(globshort.rast, priogrid_land.cell) AS geomval FROM
globshort, priogrid_land) AS foo
GROUP BY gid, (foo.geomval).val
ORDER BY gid;


-- SELECT * FROM globshortrel;

-- SELECT DISTINCT ON(gid) gid, val, percentarea
-- FROM globshortrel
-- GROUP BY gid, val, percentarea
-- ORDER BY gid, percentarea DESC
