The use of double-quotes instead of single-quotes is confusing the optimizer somehow. (I'm still looking why this is.) SQL (not just SQLite but the SQL language in general) really wants you to use single quotes. If you change "NL" to 'NL' the query will go very quickly, even without creating any indices. -- D.
