I pasted above, > which was " Total runtime: 0.479 ms". Yea. Unfortunately that time does not including planning time. If you work locally on the server using psql you can use '\timing' to make psql output timing information. If I interpret those findings correcty the execution is approx. as fast as DB2, only DB2 is doing automated plan caching while pg is not. If it _really_ is necessary that this is that fast, you can prepare the query like I showed.
