I know you said size doesn't matter, but just for the record, the ten tables I loaded for this test put the database at 56G. I'm pulling information together to share on this, but I was wondering: is there any possibility that the tendency to use index scans in nested loops (given the table sizes and the availability of useful indexes) contributes to the difference? Other possible factors: Most keys are multi-column and include varchar-based data types. Most columns are defined via domains. (More info to follow.) -Kevin
