FWIW, I picked up Dan Tow's book to give it a read, and they guy isn't qualified to author "SQL Tuning". You should chuck that book, it won't help you -- not with Oracle or SQL Server, and certainly not with PostgreSQL. O'Reilly continues to have trouble turning out quality database books. Also, if you *were* using Dan's method, you'd be driving off Person, not Shipment. -- Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
