Out of curiosity, what kind of performance do you get with?:
EXPLAIN ANALYZE
SELECT contexts.context_key
FROM contexts
JOIN articles ON (articles.context_key = contexts.context_key)
JOIN matview_82034 ON (matview_82034.context_key =
contexts.context_key)
WHERE EXISTS
(
SELECT *
FROM article_words
JOIN words using (word_key)
WHERE context_key = contexts.context_key
AND word = 'insider'
)
AND EXISTS
(
SELECT *
FROM article_words
JOIN words using (word_key)
WHERE context_key = contexts.context_key
AND word = 'trading'
)
AND EXISTS
(
SELECT *
FROM virtual_ancestors a
JOIN bp_categories ON (bp_categories.context_key =
a.ancestor_key)
WHERE a.context_key = contexts.context_key
AND lower(bp_categories.category) = 'law'
)
AND articles.indexed
;
(You may have to add some table aliases in the subqueries.)
If you are able to make a copy on 8.4 and test the various forms,
that would also be interesting. I suspect that the above might do
pretty well in 8.4.
