I'm have the following view as part of a larger, aggregate query that is
running slower than I'd like. There are 4 views total, each very
similar to this one. Each of the views is then left joined with data
from some other tables to give me the final result that I'm looking for.
I'm hoping that if I can get some insight in to how to make this view
execute faster, I can apply that learning to the other 3 views and
thereby decrease the run time for my aggregate query.
I'm running 8.2.4 on Windows XP with a single 10K rpm disk dedicated to
the data directory.
