> BTW, what did you do with this, print and OCR it? Tom, I work in a classified environment, so I had to sanitize the query plan, print it, and OCR it. I spent a lot of time fixing typos, but I guess at midnight my eyes missed some. This hassle is why I posted neither the query nor the schema. The database is normalized, though, but my use of animal names of couse masks this. If you think that you or anyone else would invest the time, I could post more info. I will also try Shridhar's suggestions on statistics_target and enable_hash_join.
