If the same case fails for you, that suggests we fixed it. If increasing join_collapse_limit to 9 or more makes the problem go away for you, that would be additional evidence that what you are seeing is the same problem already diagnosed. That might be a usable workaround for you until 8.2.7 comes out... regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
