I didn't mean to imply that views would speed things up -- I was merely suggesting them as an alternative to your "flattened table" if part of its purpose would be to simplify queries. You might want to perform some experiments to see if the performance gains from a materialized view are worth the extra complexity. -- Michael Fuhr http://www.fuhr.org/~mfuhr/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
