Are the two pid columns exactly the same datatype (and what is it anyway)? What plan does EXPLAIN show for that SELECT, and what plan do you see for SELECT fk.pid FROM ONLY asientry fk LEFT OUTER JOIN ONLY pobject pk ON pk.pid=fk.pid WHERE pk.pid IS NULL AND fk.pid IS NOT NULL; (which is what is probably being used to test foreign key validity)? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
