Are you sure getting the query *result* is causing the delay? If my faint memory serves right DB2 does plan caching - PG does not. To test this theory you could prepare it and execute it twice. Prepare it: PREPARE test_query AS SELECT void,nameId,tag FROM (SELECT void,nameId,tag,.... FROM Attr WHERE attributeof IN (SELECT oid_ FROM ItemView WHERE ItemView.ItemId=?)) x RIGHT OUTER JOIN (SELECT oid_ FROM ItemView WHERE ItemView.ItemId=? and ItemView.assignedTo_=?) y ON attributeof = oid_ FOR READ ONLY; Execute it: EXECUTE test_query; EXECUTE test_query; Greetings, Andres -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
