I see.. The deleted column is: deleted boolean Should I create an index for that? How could I improve this query? Does it execute as slowly when you run it for a 2nd time? No, it doesn't. I think it's because of cache? I would think because of the NOT "deleted" clause. Which is interesting, > because that's a column which you conveniently didn't include in the > definition below. My mistake. Would an Index be sufficient to solve the problem? Patrick
