I notice this in one of the plans:
-> Bitmap Index Scan on term_node_tid_idx (cost=0.00..4.94 rows=91
width=0) (actual time=0.014..0.014 rows=0 loops=1)
Index Cond: ((tid)::integer = 3)
That's a pretty bad estimate for a scan of a single relation with a
filter on one column.
I'd like to see the output of:
SELECT MIN(tid), MAX(tid), SUM(1) FROM term_node;
SHOW default_statistics_target;
By the way, why does EXPLAIN not display the name of the table as well
as the index when it performs a bitmap index scan? It does do so for
a regular index scan.
What version of PG is this again?
