This'll break existing tools that examine EXPLAIN output (eg, pgAdmin); I don't really think it does enough for readability to justify that. IMHO it'd be better to just add a paragraph to the documentation pointing out what an indexscan without index condition means. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: 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
