I've attached the Analyze below. I have no idea why the db thinks there
is only 1 judge named simth. Is there some what I can inform the DB

EXPLAIN ANALYZE select distinct
actor.actor_id,court.id,court.name,role_class_code,full_name from
actor,identity,court,event,event_actor where role_class_code = 'Judge' and full_name
like 'SMITH%' and identity.actor_id = actor.actor_id and identity.court_ori =
