Bruce, First of all, I'd like to thank you for taking some interest in this issue. We'd love to migrate to the latest PG version, but this issue is currently preventing us from doing so. Regardless of the DB used (base application schema _or_ restored DB with additional app data + base application schema), seed information is present in all tests. I guess my question is this - why would having existing data change the bind behavior at all? Is it possible that the way indexes are created has changed between 8.4 -> 9.x? Thanks, M.

Yes, that is clear. So it is the seed data that is causing the problem? That is the only different I see from #2 and #3. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@xxxxxxxxxx> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + It's impossible for everything to be true. + -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
