All;
Can anyone please help with the tuning of this query?
With 77000 rows in the operator_messages database the query is taking almost
15 seconds to return. Preference woul dbe under 5 seconds if possible.
System load on a dual processor P3 with 1.5GB of memory remains under .4
during the query.
The query and explain are noted below as well as description of the tables;
Note both ANALYZE and VACUUM have been run numerous times.
any help would be appreciated. -Kev
