FYI RT uses a perl module called SearchBuilder which constructs these queries
dynamically. So he's probably not really free to fiddle with the query all he
wants.

At the very least I would suggest checking the changelog for SearchBuilder for
more recent versions. There have been a lot of tweaks for working with
Postgres. In the past it really only worked properly with MySQL.
