Does changing:
WHERE "VisitorExtra"."ID"="Visitor"."ID" AND
"VisitorExtra"."ID"= 325903;
to
WHERE "VisitorExtra"."ID"="Visitor"."ID" AND
"Visitor"."ID"= 325903;
have any effect?
Why do you use "From VisitorExtra" in first select when no result fields are in the table? Why not replace all references to "VisitorExtra"."ID"to "Visitor"."ID"?

Hi--
I have this rather long complex query that takes really long to complete
(please see below). It seems like I ought to improve the speed somehow.
I don't understand, for example, what the query planner is doing when it
says "Hash" and why this appears to take so long. And since I have a key
for Visitor.ID, I don't understand why its doing a sequential scan on
that table...
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
