You can define OPTIMIZER_DEBUG but the interface leaves a lot to be desired (output to backend stdout, no way to turn it on or off except recompile...) Also, I believe all you will see are the paths that survived the initial pruning done by add_path. This is about the right level of detail for examining join choices, but perhaps not very helpful for why-didn't-it-use-my-index choices; the paths you wanted to know about may not have got into the relation's candidate-path list in the first place. 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
