Except according to that explain analyze 'abc(def' ran exactly the speed as 'abc()def'. This all seems much more likely to depend on the c1/an_integer_column value you're querying for than on the string. Keep trying different values for both columns until you find one that triggers the problem and send the explain analyze result for that. It could be that '(' was such a value yesterday but not today if autovacuum has run analyze since. -- greg http://mit.edu/~gsstark/resume.pdf -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
