You need to regularly run 'analyze'.

Hi there,

I am quite new to postgresql, and love the explain feature. It enables us to predict which SQL queries needs to be optimized before we see any problems. However, I've run into an issue where explain tells us a the costs of a quiry are tremendous (105849017586), but the query actually runs quite fast. Even "explain analyze" shows these costs.

This makes me wonder: can the estimates explain shows be dead wrong?

I can explain in more detail (including the query and output of explain) if needed. I'm using 7.4 on Solaris 8.

Sincerely,
