In the meantime, is it intentional that there is no join clause between t_b and t_c? That'd be a lot more efficient as two separate EXISTS tests, ie WHERE EXISTS ( SELECT 1 FROM t_b WHERE t_b.id = t_a.id ) AND EXISTS ( SELECT 1 FROM t_c WHERE t_c.flag = 'f') but I wonder whether this query doesn't simply reflect a logic error on the client side. 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
