This could only be assumed to apply for predicates constructed from operators that are in the equivalence operator's btree opfamily. Now, that would certainly be a large enough set of cases to sometimes give useful results --- but I stand by the opinion that it wouldn't win often enough to justify the added planner overhead. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
