Thanks. EXPLAIN plans were different but (don't have them now and) didn't know system catalogs were so severely affected by outdated statistics as well (which is why I was looking for any other reasons I might be missing). I reckon an ANALYSE; should solve this? ... Would get back if I have something else to offer. - robins -- - robins
