What would be useful, for this case, would be to provide the query plan, perhaps via EXPLAIN [Big Long Query]. The difference between that EXPLAIN and what you get on 7.4 might be quite interesting. I would think it quite unlikely that it is truly an "infinite" loop; it is rather more likely that the plan winds up being pretty bad and doing something [a bunch of nested loops, maybe?] that run longer than your patience will permit. -- wm(X,Y):-write(X),write('@'),write(Y). wm('cbbrowne','acm.org'). http://www3.sympatico.ca/cbbrowne/lsf.html Rules of the Evil Overlord #81.
