Query to slow

Hi List,

     As I said before, I'm not a DBA " yet" , but I'm learning ... and I
already have a PostgreSQL running, so I have to ask some help...
      I got a SQL as folows :

      SELECT /*+  */

ftcofi00.grupo_faturamento ,
SUM( DECODE( ftcofi00.atual_fatura, '-', -(NVL
(ftnfpr00.qtde_duzias,0)),       '+', NVL(ftnfpr00.qtde_duzias,0),       0) ) ,
SUM( DECODE( ftcofi00.atual_fatura, '-', -(NVL(ftnfpr00.vlr_liquido,0)), '+',
NVL(ftnfpr00.vlr_liquido,0), 0) ) ,

I have created the decode, NVL and DIVIDE functions.... the problem is that the
where condition makes this query to slow ( about 4 min ) and the same query in
my Oracle database takes less than 40 seconds. I have tried to isolate the
problem taking off some  fields and I left justa the two first fields in the
query ( ftnfco00.estado_cliente , ftcofi00.grupo_faturamento ) and it still
taking  almost 4 min to return. Does anyone have a hint to give me to make it
faster ?

Atenciosamente,
