Not really ... the plan that's presented is the one that looked the cheapest out of the feasible plans. How are you going to identify a single reason as to why any other plan was not generated or lost out on a cost-estimate basis? Humans might be able to do so (note that the above quote is an off-the-cuff estimate, not something I'd care to defend rigorously) but I don't think software can do it. FWIW, the particular problem here should be fixed in 7.5. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
