I have run the same query in the same database under
different schemas. Each schema is pretty much the same
tables and indices. One has an extra backup table and
an extra index which are not used in either of the explain
analyze plans.
The first schema is a development schema, which I used
to performance tune the server so everything was great.
Here are the current results of the sql run in the development
environment:

The SQL is exactly the same.
The issue is the query plan is different, and thus,
not up to the performance we need.
We have 256meg in the machine. Would it help if
we threw some more memory in?
Please let me know if you have *any* pointers as to
the reason for the difference.
Thank you very much in advance for any pointers or
suggestions.
