postgres 8.2 seems to prefer Seq Scan

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



One more anomaly between 7.4 and 8.2.  DB dumped from 7.4 and loaded
onto 8.2, both have locale set to C.  8.2 seems to prefer Seq Scans
for the first query while the ordering in the second query seems to
perform worse on 8.2.  I ran analyze.  I've tried with the encoding
set to UTF-8 and SQL_ASCII; same numbers and plans.  Any ideas how to
improve this?

Thanks,

Alex
