It would be nice to avoid having two aggregate subselects -- but there's no easy way to to do this. -- Also ... Postgres does seem to optimize away the two subselects that -- calculate the number of replies and last reply date if the query -- using the view doesn't include those columns in its resultset. So -- at the moment it does not appear necessary to create simpler views -- with those stripped out. create view bboard_messages_all as select m.message_id, m.reply_to, m.sent_date, m.sender, m.title, m.mime_type, m.content, f.forum_id, f.status, (select count(1) from acs_messages m2, bboard_forum_message_map mf where m2.message_id = mf.message_id and m2.tree_sortkey like m.tree_sortkey || '%') as num_replies, (select max(sent_date) from acs_messages m2, bboard_forum_message_map mf where m2.message_id = mf.message_id and m2.tree_sortkey like m.tree_sortkey || '%') as last_reply_date from acs_messages_all m, bboard_forum_message_map f where m.message_id = f.message_id; create view bboard_messages_by_category as select msg.*, cat.category_id from bboard_messages_all msg left join bboard_category_message_map cat on (msg.message_id = cat.message_id);
