[Quoted] [Quoted] wow. A puzzler. Best guess is that you have corrupted indexes on the [Quoted] [Quoted] table. You must be adding data to the system quite regularly, so I am [Quoted] assuming that this table has a lot of transactions against it. Are you [Quoted] doing any deletes? or other updates? How often? How many? Are there any [Quoted] other indexes on the table?

[Quoted] [Quoted] I am thinking you could drop all indexes for this table and rebuild [Quoted] them. With 800K rows, this could take some time.

[Quoted] Another idea is run explain plan on the query. It should pick up the [Quoted] index. If it does not use the index, try analysing the table.
