Am I missing someting or it might be a bug? It looks to me like it's optimizing away the left joins, presumably on the grounds that they join to a unique key so there can't be more than one matching row --- and this query has no need to know exactly which row, if any, matches. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
