While some queries were no faster in 8.2 than in 7.4 for me, there were many complex reporting queries that were literally thousands of times faster. Going from minutes (nearly hours) to a second or less. The real issue, as usual, is "How much faster is version y than version x for YOU?" And only you can answer that by testing. In general, I found that complex reporting queries were greatly sped up. Updates / inserts / deletes were on the order of a bit faster to about twice as fast. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
