That confirms my thought that passing the data up through multiple levels of join is what's killing us. I'll work on a solution. This will of course be even less back-patchable to 8.0.* than Ogawa's work, but hopefully it will fix the issue for 8.1. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
