The planner's estimation for subplan conditions is pretty primitive compared to joinable conditions. When you add the OR, it's no longer possible to treat the IN like a join, and everything gets an order of magnitude dumber :-( It might be worth trying this as a UNION of the two simple queries. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
