Did the pg_stats data change noticeably? ANALYZE is a statistical sampling process in 7.2, so I'd expect the results to move around somewhat each time you repeat it. But if it changes a lot then we have a problem. You could also try ALTER TABLE symbol_data ALTER symbol_name SET STATISTICS n for larger values of n (10 is the default) and then re-ANALYZE to see if the stats get any more accurate. The default of 10 was more or less picked out of the air ... perhaps it's too small. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
