Hi!
I am having trouble with like statements on one of my tables.
I already tried a vacuum and analyze but with no success.
The database is PostgreSQL Database Server 8.1.3 on i686-pc-mingw32
I get the following explain and I am troubled by the very high
"startup_cost" ... does anyone have any idea why that value is so
high?

WITHOUT OIDS;
These are the indexes on the table:
CREATE INDEX idx_image_customer
ON image
USING btree
(customer_id);
CREATE INDEX idx_image_event
ON image
USING btree
(event_id);
CREATE INDEX idx_image_flags
ON image
USING btree
(flags);
CREATE INDEX idx_image_gallery
ON image
USING btree
(gallery_id);
CREATE INDEX idx_image_id
ON image
USING btree
(image_id);
CREATE INDEX idx_image_id_title
ON image
USING btree
(image_id, title);
CREATE INDEX idx_image_theme
ON image
USING btree
(theme_id);
CREATE INDEX idx_image_title
ON image
USING btree
(title);
I would appreciate any hint what could be the problem here.
