No I did not check. But we are talking about very small data sets. No table
has more than 50 rows. I doubt that analyze will provide anything - but I
could be wrong. There is about 20 SQL statements that read data (selects
only) and they are very straight forward without joins or sub-selects. So
I'm thinking it has something to do with the way windows runs postgres or a
setting in XP.
