I have tested, and if one really wants the whole table the query with "set enable_seqscan = on" lasts 137 secs, the query with "set enable_seqscan = off" lasts 473 secs, so (alas), the planner is right. I sure would like to have ISAM like behaviour once in a while. Groeten, Joost Kraaijeveld Askesis B.V.
