Hi Kevin. In postgres 8.2 you will be able to use the row-wise
comparison for your query which should guarantee good worst case
performance without having to maintain two separate query forms. it
is also a more elegant syntax as you will see.
SELECT "CA"."calDate", "CA"."startTime"
FROM "Cal" "CA"
WHERE ("CA"."ctofcNo", "CA"."calDate") BETWEEN
(2192, '2006-03-15') and (2192, '2006-03-15')
ORDER BY "ctofcNo", "calDate", "startTime";
Be warned this will not work properly in pg < 8.2. IMO, row-wise is
the best way to write this type of a query. Please note the row
constructor and the addition of ctofcNo into the order by clause to
force use of the index.
