In Postgres 9.1. I am attempting to do a single query to get the timezone of a given postal code. I have data loaded in my database, and I am using PostGIS to store the coordinates of each postal code. Here are the two queries that I need to do in order to get the data I need:

SELECT *
FROM public.timezones as tz
WHERE ST_Intersects((SELECT coord FROM taduler.postal_code
                     WHERE postal_code = 'T1K0T4' LIMIT 1),geom)

Does anyone know of a better way to optimize this query? I have tried several variations of this query, like joining the tables and such, but they have all resulted in the same query speed.

I am using postgresql9.1

Here is the outputOutput from EXPLAIN ANALYZE:

UPDATE:

I will also post the EXPLAIN ANALYZE for the following query:

Postgresql subquery speed much slower than individual queries

I am attempting to do a single query to get the timezone of a given postal code. I have data loaded in my database, and I am using PostGIS to store the coordinates of each postal code. Here are the two queries that I need to do in order to get the data I need:

SELECT coord FROM public.postal_code WHERE postal_code = 'T1K0T4' LIMIT 1

query time: 6ms

This gives me the coordinate of the center of the postal_code area. Then I use this coordinate to find which timezone it intersects:

SELECT *
FROM public.timezones as tz
WHERE ST_Intersects(ST_GeomFromText('POINT(-112 49)',4326),geom)

query time: 36ms

Now when I combine the 2 queries, the query time jumps to 7-8 seconds. This is my query:

SELECT *
FROM public.timezones as tz
WHERE ST_Intersects((SELECT coord FROM taduler.postal_code WHERE postal_code = 'T1K0T4' LIMIT 1),geom)

I have a spatial index on the coord column in the postal_code table, and also on the geom column in the timezone table, but it seems like it isn't being used for the subquery.

Does anyone know of a better way to optimize this query? I have tried several variations of this query, like joining the tables and such, but they have all resulted in the same query speed.
