The more I think about it, the more I believe PG is missing an opportunity. The query is adequately constrained
withoutthe BETWEEN clause. Why doesn't PG see that? I realize I'm a hack and by db organization shows that...
The query is wrong as stated, as it won't work when the interval crosses a year boundary, but it's a stop gap for now.
Cheers,
Rob
