No I did not check. But we are talking about very small data sets. No table has more than 50 rows. I doubt that analyze will provide anything - but I could be wrong. There is about 20 SQL statements that read data (selects only) and they are very straight forward without joins or sub-selects. So I'm thinking it has something to do with the way windows runs postgres or a setting in XP. -- John Fabiani
