Subject: Problem with subquery containg GROUP BY

Hi,
I'm using postgres 7.4.
 
I have two queries:
(1)
SELECT  a,b
FROM table1
WHERE a=99
 
(2)
SELECT  a,b,sum (o)  as sum_o
FROM table2
GROUP BY a,b
 
Both Runs very fast.
 
But when I try to make (2) as a subquery of (1):
 
SELECT  a,b,sum_o
FROM table1
LEFT JOIN  (
SELECT  a,b,sum (o)  as sum_o
                        FROM table2
GROUP BY a,b
) sub_query
USING (a,b)
WHERE a=99
 
 
It runs 100 times slower.
I guess it has to do with the postgres unable to pass the a=99 inside
the subquery
 
Any ideas ?
