Overall, I'm really getting the feeling that this procedure was optimized for Oracle and/or MSSQL and is hitting some things that aren't such a good idea for PostgreSQL. I highly suggest that you try using log_duration and log_statement (and in 7.4 log_min_duration_statement) to try to locate which particular statements are taking the longest. -- Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
