Or what I might be able to do to speed this up?

Can you reformulate that data representation at all, or at least avoid depending on it as a join key? 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
