AH.. so you sort of hard-code insert into table values($x,$y,$z,$w) instead of execute sp_insert($x,$y,$z,$w) > The existing code base used the latter approach, which didn't work well > with PG.

Yeah.. I found out that PG doesn't like this statement. where audit_key_dtime >= (select last_refreshed from denorm_log where tablename = 'zon') and audit_key_dtime < (select last_refreshed + refresh_interval from denorm_log where tablename = 'zon') Index Cond: ((audit_key_dtime >= $0) AND (audit_key_dtime < $1)) but prefers this where audit_key_dtime >= '2007-08-08 18:00:00' and audit_key_dtime < '2007-08-08 18:01:00' Index Cond: ((audit_key_dtime >= '2007-08-08 18:00:00'::timestamp without time zone) AND (audit_key_dtime < '2007-08-08 18:01:00'::timestamp without time zone)) even though they are of the same 1 min interval ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org/
