Hello everyone, I think I solved the problem that was bugging me all day and took up quite some time of mine (and Dieter's. Thanks for the help).
First we thought it was a version problem with the DBI and DBD-Pg modules for perl. I tried almost every possible combination :) At least I tried the newest versions and the ones from the SL FAQ. Didn't make a difference. After all the solution was quite simple: The database was in use for little over a year now and nobody ever thought of doing some maintenance work. After a vacuumdb it works just the way it should. So if you are not doing it already I would advice everyone to vacuum the SL database every once in a while. Speeds up the system to. I setup a cron job that will vacuum the database every night.
