There is nearly a zero chance that happened. This database is accessible only by me, I haven't deleted anything. The only things I have done is to create and drop various indexes and run vacuum. Is there anything else that could explain the difference? Is the index scan on feature_pkey using information from the index scan on featureloc_src_6 to limit the number of rows to get from feature?
