First, you should consider to upgrade your PostgreSQL server to a newer
version, at least to 7.2.8 which fixes some critical bugs.

But it will be much better to upgrade to current 8.1 version, as I think
that your problem is caused by index bloat, and indices are handled much
better in 8.1.

Try recreating your indices using REINDEX command.

HTH,
Markus

Note that 7.2.x isn't supported anymore, and there's data loss bugs that
could affect it. You should at least move up to 7.4.x.

And if that doesn't work we need at least the output of EXPLAIN, if not
EXPLAIN ANALYZE.

Actually now I already work to upgrade Postgresql version to 8.1 but not
yet finish.

Yesterday I did re-create the affected tables indices, it does improve the
performance but still need 2-5 mins to execute the query.
Is this 'normal' for a table with 40K rows of records?

Anyway thanks for your help.
