Permance issues with migrated db

I posted an issue I was having with a migration from MS SQL server to
pgsql over the weekend. Tom's suggestion for the query I posted was
right on, I made the appropriate updates to column types by dumping,
changing and restoring the database. I then analyze'd the db and my
query performance was equal to that of MS SQL. This is my first
migration and also my first time trying to spot performance issues,
mainly because all the previous db's I've worked with were built from
scratch, never an issue with performance, but never worked with so much
data either (not sure if that has anything to do with my issues).

I have developed a view in pgsql that takes over 160K ms to execute, but
when copied into MS SQL against the old database (with syntax mods of
course), runs in a few seconds. Seems the issues are with tblcontactinfo
and tblclientactivitytag. Only if I remove all references to *both*
tables do I get good performance from the query. Thanks for any help!
