Sorry, You're correct, actually this is a view of an other table called
o_kat_prod defined as
SELECT * FROM o_kat_prod;
but supposed to be in my next step something like
SELECT * FROM o_kat_prod WHERE <a_single_field> IS NOT NULL;

And doing the explicit cross join statement on o_kat_prod instead of
ot_kat_prod gives the expected performance to me ( 7.42 msec instead
of 7324.49 msec with EXPLAIN ANALYZE).

Do i've any chance to get the same performance on the view?

Thanks for any help!
