If you need to be able to search based on the entire stored error message, than you might try adding an indexed hash column to the table and using that to speed up searches. You can still compare the full string in case you have a hash collision, but those should be very rare. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
