Oh, sorry, the subsequent discussion moved over to pgsql-hackers: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2007-04/msg00621.php and -patches: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2007-04/msg00374.php Those are good places to look if a discussion on -bugs or other lists seems to tail off... regards, tom lane PS: the reason I couldn't reproduce the behavior was just that the dummy data I was using didn't have the right statistics.
