What is the schema for this table and associated indexes?
Or if that is not available what is in the table?
Is the data the same in both for the problem table? I am somewhat suspicious 
that the second db table is twice the size of the first. Almost like the data is 
being duplicated.

from the original table versus from the table in the second db?
