The problem is that the planner is unable to appropiately order OUTER JOINs in released versions. In 8.2 it can do some reordering, so it would probably come up with a better plan. Without jumping to 8.2, however, the best you could do is reorder the query yourself manually. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support
