Hello all,

I have a PostgreSQL database that is storing The Bible.  It has 31,103 
records in it and I have a PHP page executing this query:
SELECT
books.book_name, bible.chapter, bible.verse, bible.versetext
FROM asv_bible bible, book_bible books WHERE bible.book = books.id ORDER BY 
random() LIMIT 1

The database schema is:

/* --------------------------------------------------------
  Sequences
-------------------------------------------------------- */
CREATE SEQUENCE "book_bible_seq" start 1 increment 1 maxvalue 2147483647 
minvalue 1 cache 1;

/* --------------------------------------------------------
  Table structure for table "asv_bible"
-------------------------------------------------------- */
CREATE TABLE "asv_bible" (
   "id" int8 NOT NULL,
   "book" int8,
   "chapter" int8,
   "verse" int8,
   "versetext" text,
   CONSTRAINT "asv_bible_pkey" PRIMARY KEY ("id")
);



/* --------------------------------------------------------
  Table structure for table "book_bible"
-------------------------------------------------------- */
CREATE TABLE "book_bible" (
   "id" int4 DEFAULT nextval('book_bible_seq'::text) NOT NULL,
   "book_name" varchar(20),
   CONSTRAINT "book_bible_pkey" PRIMARY KEY ("id")
);

Right now it takes 9 seconds to return the results.  I was wondering if 
anyone could offer any help with lowering the time it takes to run?

Or if this is the normal runtime for a database of this size, I'd just like 
confirmation.

Thanks,
Kevin
