I'm trying to benchmark some complex sql queries. One query, in particular, is causing problems -- its cost values can vary from 228 to 907, its Total Runtimes from 60 ms to 5176 ms. The query plans show that the optimizer is choosing different plans for different iterations of the same query. Does anyone have any idea what's going on here or maybe how I can force Postgres to prefer the faster plan?

The query plans are very long (11 tables joined) but I can include them if it might help. Thanks for any advice,

Roberto
