You haven't told us a thing about the column datatypes involved (much less what the query actually is) ... but I wonder if this is a textual datatype and the 8.0 installation is using a non-C locale where the 7.3 installation is using C locale. That could account for a considerable slowdown in text comparison speeds. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
