You mean to put an index on date with timestamptz datatype column?...

this table has an acctid column which is PK then most of the other columns are 
varchar(80) or so....

So for 4 records result, 7 seconds are too way a lot I guess... but as I said 
before I'm gonna wait if the responsible of the server did a VACUUM on the 
table...

What do you think?...


Thanks again to all.
Ciao,
Luigi
