Then again, a table might not be the optimal format for an inherently hierarchical structure. But we're getting ahead of ourselves. There are three parts to this: 1. determine what statistics to gather 2. gather those statistics 3. use those statistics #1 can really be handled manually in the beginning, and you'd still have an excessively useful system if #2 and #3 are available. Once that is done, we can gain experience with the system and maybe find a way to automate #1, but it really does not need to be the first step. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
