The result is sequential scan on all tables, append, sort and then
filter scan on this whole thing. Which of course is slow as hell. We use
version 8.0.2.
And now the question: Is there a way to force the planner to push the
condition lower, so it will use the index? Or do you use some tricks in
this scenario? Thanks for your suggestions.
Try "UNION ALL", since UNION is defined as removing duplicates, which
probably accounts for the sort.
