Well the way Postgres disables a plan node type is by giving it a cost of 100,000,000. What other way did you expect it to be able to scan tbl_filetype_suffix anyways? What indexes do you have on tbl_filetype_suffix? And any chance you could resend this stuff without the word-wrapping? It's pretty hard to read like this: " -> Seq Scan on tbl_filetype_suffix (cost=100000000.00..100000001.34 rows=14 width=8) (actual time=0.133..0.176 rows=14 loops=1)" " Filter: (filetype_suffix_index IS TRUE)" -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
