Re: ANTI-JOIN needs table, index scan not possible?

Thanks for the answer.

so there's no way around this problem? A nice index bitmap merge thing would be super fast. Big table ANTI JOIN queries
withonly a few results expected, are totally broken, if this is true.  

This way the query breaks my neck. This is a massive downside of postgres which makes this kind of query impossible.
Mysqlgives you the answer in a few seconds :-(
