First I'm wondering if the tables have been recently analyzed. If an analyze has been run recently, then it is probably a good idea to look at the statistics target. -----Original Message----- From: pgsql-performance-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pgsql-performance-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jim C.

I'd suggest upping the statisticss target on at least all of the join columns to at least 100. (Note that it's doing a nested loop thinking it will have only 2 rows but it actually has 22000 rows).
