I'm not saying the change in width is your problem here, but it's odd. Compare a pg_dump of the schema of 7.1 newsletter vs 7.4 newsletter. There are only two possibilities: 1. PG has changed the way it reports row width (I don't remember any such change). 2. Something *has* changed. If it still doesn't make sense, can you post the CREATE TABLE/INDEX etc. for the newsletter table and I'll try it here and see what figure I get. Once we've cleared this up, we'll have a look at what your config settings are and whether they need tuning. PS - EXPLAIN ANALYSE is better than just EXPLAIN for seeing what happens, it actually runs the query and shows what happened. -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
