Or am I something missing? No, the clause that's being used with the index is main.id = transactions_1.objectid The "filter condition" is just along for the ride --- it doesn't matter what sort of expressions are in there, so long as they only use variables available at this point in the plan. But if you had coded that clause as int4eq(main.id, transactions_1.objectid) it would have been unable to create this plan at all. 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
