Tom et al,
Sometimes it takes a look from someone on the outside to get the job
done right.
Below is, I believe, everything pertinent to this problem. First is the
table in question, second is the problematic and original query, and
final is the transaction that I have working today with the CTID
implementation.
I would welcome any feedback.
TIA,
Greg

Forget the index, it's useless here (hint: ctid is a physical address).
I'm wondering though why you don't just transpose the subquery's WHERE
condition into the DELETE's WHERE? Or is this example oversimplified?
