(0 rows) returned when I used NOT EXITS but (4 rows) returned

How do I speed up the quey performance if I've a query like this : Does 'not in' command will affected the performance?.Yes, it's well known to be slow in 7.3 and lower, should be fixed in 7.4 AFAIK.selectts.transportid,ts.transporttype,ts.transportcapacity,ts.transportstatus,ts.routecoverage,ts.transportregnumberfrom transportsetup ts where ts.bizid = 'B126' and ts.deletestatus = 0 and ts.transportid not in ( select t.transportid from transportsetupt,servicedetail s,logisticservice lwheret.bizid=l.bizidandl.serviceid=s.serviceidandt.transportid=s.transportidand t.bizid ='B126'andl.status='Pending'or t.bizid=l.bizid andl.serviceid=s.serviceidandt.transportid=s.transportidand t.bizid ='B126' and l.status='Reserved' )order by ts.transporttype;As recently mentioned by Stephan Szabo on '[SQL] How to optimize this query ?' NOT EXISTS performs much better. Try: select ts.transportid,ts.transporttype,ts.transportcapacity,ts.transportstatus,ts.routecoverage,ts.transportregnumber from transportsetup ts where ts.bizid = 'B126' and ts.deletestatus = 0 and NOT EXISTS ( select t.transportid from transportsetup t,servicedetail s,logisticservice l where ts.transportid = t.transportid and t.bizid=l.bizid and l.serviceid=s.serviceid and t.transportid=s.transportid and t.bizid = 'B126' and l.status='Pending' or t.bizid=l.bizid and l.serviceid=s.serviceid and t.transportid=s.transportid and t.bizid = 'B126' and l.status='Reserved' ) order by ts.transporttype; Regards, Christoph
