Steve, can you try this out on your queries and see if it makes better or worse decisions? It seems to fix your initial complaint but I do not have a large stock of test cases to try.
Wow, this is a remarkable difference. Queries that were taking minutes to complete are coming up in seconds. Good work, I think this'll solve my customer's needs for their demo on the 19th :)
Thank you so much! Steve ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
