Re: PGSQL 7.4 -> 8.1 migration & performance problem

Hi:

Just a hunch:

What about adding an index to the field
etapes_lignes_commandes(code_etape). Assuming your database
uses C locales. This might work for your particular query
since your filter is something like code_etape~~'COMP%'.
What about increasing the settings of work_mem, etc (check
http://www.powerpostgresql.com/PerfList) .
