The app wants to run a query like this:

select count(pri_num) from max_xtrv_st_t
where pri_num in (select max(pri_num) from max_xtrv_st_t where 1=1

Why not something simpler?  There are a number of possibilities, and
I don't claim this one is necessarily best (or even error free), but
how about something like?:

select count(*) from
   (select distinct max(pri_num)
   from max_xtrv_st_t
   group by tds_cx_ind, cxs_ind_2) x

I've tried a number of alternates, each one wants to do a seq scan of the table (including your suggestion above).
