You have ANALYZEd all these tables recently, I hope? The planner certainly doesn't think this query will take very long. To find out what's wrong, you're going to have to be patient enough to let an EXPLAIN ANALYZE run to completion. Plain EXPLAIN won't tell. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
