Sure but you haven't provided a TON of information that would be needed to help? If you execute the same query that is being executed via ODBC, via psql is the performance problem still there? If so, you probably have a postgresql issue, otherwise look at Oracle or ODBC. If it is a PostgreSQL issue: Do you have indexes applied? What is the explain plan? When was the last time you analyzed? What about vacuum? etc. etc. Sincerely, Joshua D. Drake > > How can I trace down the cause for this performance problem? > > Thanx in advance! > > Regards, > Thomas Radnetter > > p.s.
