Hard to comment on this when you haven't shown us the query nor the table schemas. But I'm going to guess based on the lack of a Limit node in the second plan that your query involves WHERE EXISTS(SELECT ... LIMIT 1). The LIMIT 1 would have defeated optimization till recently, but now the planner knows that it's a no-op in this context and throws it away, and then is able to convert the sub-select to a semijoin. Usually that results in a better plan; there's far from enough info here to guess why it's worse for you. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
