Hi,
try this on psql console:
explain analyze select tq1.*, tq2.* from
cal_quat_1 tq1, cal_quat_2 tq2
where tq1.timestamp = tq2.timestamp
and tq1.timestamp > '2004-01-12 09:47:56.0000 +0'::timestamp with time zone
and tq1.timestamp < '2004-01-12 09:50:44.7187 +0'::timestamp with time zone
order by tq1.timestamp;
... and examine generated query plan (or post it)
regards, pajout
P.S.
And what about vacuum full analyze ? :)
