it helped, the new version of the query takes 2303 ms on both 8.1.4 and 8.2.4.
any idea why the 8.2.4 planner is not happy with the initial select? was it just a big chance that it worked in 8.1.4
orthe 8.2.4 planner has a problem?
or, from another perspective, is the new syntax more portable? what are the chances that after upgrading to 8.3.x to
encounternew problems?
