Rich, if the tables are not OLTP tables, you can probably help with
bitmap indexes and (please, don't laugh) clusters, if the rows are not
too long. You may even try materialized views, if that would help
those queries. On the other hand, if the tables are of OLTP nature,
which means that they are frequently accessed by concurrent DML=20
statements, then may Codd have mercy on you!
