You could turn that subselect into a join instead of an EXISTS, though I'm not sure which will be faster: SELECT r.* FROM opskrifter r JOIN opskrifter_content c ON (r.nummer = c.opskrift) JOIN opskrifter_ingredienser i ON (c.ingrediens = i.id) JOIN ( SELECT l.relid FROM languages l GROUP BY l.relid HAVING COUNT(DISINCT l.lang) = 1) s ON (s.relid = i.betegnelse); Hope that helps! -- Mike Rylander mrylander@xxxxxxxxx GPLS -- PINES Development Database Developer http://open-ils.org ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
