On looking back, this whole area is badly broken in releases before 8.3 --- see discussion of bug #3403: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2007-06/msg00114.php We concluded that the fix was too invasive to risk back-patching, so it's unlikely that anything will ever get done about it in 8.1.x or 8.2.x. If you really need this to work, I'd suggest updating to 8.3. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(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
