Hi.

I hope, that this is right mailing list.

SELECT date, value FROM t_event
        WHERE t_event.id in (SELECT id FROM t_event
                WHERE date < '2009-08-25'
                ORDER BY date DESC LIMIT 1)
        ORDER BY date;
cost 6.4

SELECT date, value FROM t_event
        WHERE t_event.id = (SELECT id FROM t_event
                WHERE date < '2009-08-25'
                ORDER BY date DESC LIMIT 1)
        ORDER BY date;
cost 6.36..6.37


Why that two query dont have equal cost? If it is not problem, try add some 
planer code to recognize that sublesect HAVE TO return just one row (limit 1) 
and in plan could be used filter/index scan instead of hash aggregate. I have 
also some complex query examples where cost difference is more visible.

Have a nice day.
