Basically, run something like: -- 1000 is just an arbitrary choice, but we can lower it later if this -- works. ALTER TABLE my.Large ALTER COLUMN small_id SET STATISTICS 1000; ANALYZE my.Large; This increases the target for just the column in question which means it should have a better idea of the distribution and may make it make a better guess if you've got a somewhat uneven distribution. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
