You could prevent flattening of the EXISTS subquery by adding an OFFSET 0 or some such to it. A real fix involves being able to handle nestloop indexscans where the parameter comes from more than one join level up; there's been some discussion about that but it's not going to happen in 8.4.x. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
