Something like: SELECT relallvisible from pg_class where oid = 'build.household'::regclass; would show you the value, however, I think a problem here is unlikely since that would just control the likelihood of an index-only-scan vs an index-scan. You're getting a Seq-scan, which I imagine is going to be quite a bit more expensive than even an index scan. -- David Rowley http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services
