To be honest, it is a bit challenging for me. I guess the better query plan is not considered when comparing the cost of paths?

Using AQO and settling the correct cardinalities in each node, I found that the plan doesn't change at all. So, I wonder if you could analyse the path-choosing logic, determine the costs of competing paths, and explain why NestLoop wasn't chosen. Maybe there is kind of early selectivity estimation error or something even more deep: specific tuples distribution across blocks of the heap table. -- regards, Andrei Lepikhov Notice: This email is generated from the account of an NUS alumnus.
