If you turned that into a regular join between c69d129_particle_size_result_fields and Data, the planner probably wouldn't be nearly as confused about how many rows would result. It's the way-off rowcount estimate for this construct that's causing most of the problem, AFAICS: -> Seq Scan on c69d129_particle_size_result_fields (cost=0.00..229742.02 rows=348 width=59) (actual time=0.018..572.402 rows=69654 loops=1) Filter: (((SubPlan 3))::text = 'd938da12-1b43-102d-a8a2-78911b79dd1c'::text) SubPlan 3 -> Index Scan using pk_data on data (cost=0.00..3.27 rows=1 width=37) (actual time=0.004..0.005 rows=1 loops=69654) Index Cond: (rowid = $2) 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
