I don't have the plan for the original query under 7.4, but you will
note I've posted a work-around for 8.0.4 that runs in a fraction of a
second on 8.0.4, and here's the plan for that:

Sorry about the post to pgsql-general; since this appeared to be a 8.0
regression, I posted it there. I guess I should subscribe to
pgsql-perform ... ???
If/when you think this will be fixed in 8.1, I'll be glad to try it
there (assuming there's an RPM build for it). I have three PostgreSQL
servers supporting duplicate copies of the database, and I can easily
take one off-line to test. Obviously no rush, as I've got a perfectly
good work-around.
Note that going back to 7.4.8 is not as easy, as postgresql.conf has
changed going to 8.0, and my installation automatically migrates
configuration files to all servers.

On 8.0.4, it runs for hours (stopped after two hours). Here's the plan:
Do you have the plan used by 7.4?
BTW, this is not really on-topic for pgsql-general; pgsql-perform would
be a more appropriate forum.
