Well, there is a recording of the webcast on the EnterpriseDB web site,
but I am afraid they only allow viewing of 3+ hour webcasts by
EnterpriseDB customers.

The idea is that a query that uses an OR can be rewritten as two SELECTs
with a UNION between them.  I have seen rare cases where this is a win,
so I mentioned it in that talk.  Intersection is similarly possible for
AND in WHERE clauses.
