Could you send EXPLAIN ANALYZE output for this (at least for the fast case)? Presumably some of the planner's estimates are way off, but there's no way to know which ones from just EXPLAIN. >> What reasons are there for the planer to choose a different plan ? It looks to me like the statistics have changed, because it's showing different rowcount and width estimates for the same scan: > -> Index Scan using > contractelements_pkey on contractelements cel (cost=0.00..5574.21 rows=459 > width=22) > Filter: (upper((isactiv)::text) > = 'Y'::text) > -> Seq Scan on contractelements cel > (cost=0.00..4253.10 rows=387 width=21) > Filter: (upper((isactiv)::text) > = 'Y'::text) Perhaps you ran VACUUM or ANALYZE in between, or autovacuum did so for you? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
