title: Does arrangement/order of tables in FROM clause make any difference in improving performance?
body: <p>In general, does arrangement or order of tables in the FROM clause make any difference in improving the performance of the query? By arrangement I mean smallest table and largest table.</p>
  
  <p>Any different experience/ideas/opinions/factors are also appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>In my case, we're using PostgreSQL v8.2.3.</p>
