This is exactly the issue that I've seen also- where we end up picking a Nested Loop because we think only one row is going to be returned and instead we end up getting a bunch and it takes forever. There was also some speculation on trying to change plans mid-stream to address a situation like that, once we realize what's happening. Not sure that's really practical but it would be nice to find some solution. Thanks, Stephen
