It's filtering (text) over all index items within a period of a full year. I imagine can be quite a lot of data (unless pkey is a primary key on a date field; only 366 records). As mentioned, ANALYZE helps, but you may want to check: 1) Are you comparing integers as text strings? You may not want to. 2) Do you have an index on cusip? You probably have, just in case. -- Alban Hertroys alban@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx magproductions b.v.
