The only ways I can think of are through a subquery (*) or possibly there might be a way to do it with EXCEPT, but on first blush that seems like it might be difficult and probably not any better speed wise. (*) - You were using IN (subquery) which is known to be poorly optimized for 7.3 and earlier. You might want to see how it performs on your data under 7.4beta for forward looking, and/or consider converting into a form using EXISTS rather than IN. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
