Sorry all - this was a duplicate from another of my addresses =(  Thanks to all that have helped out on both threads.

Hi all,

It looks like I've been hit with this well known issue.  I have a complicated query that is intended to run every few minutes, I'm using JDBC's Connection.prepareStatement() mostly for nice parameterisation, but postgres produces a suboptimal plan due to its lack of information when the statement is prepared.

I've been following the mailing list for a few years and I've seen this topic come up a bit.  I've just done a quick google and I'm not quite sure how to fix this short of manually substituting my query parameters in to a query string -- avoiding prepared statements… An alternative might be to re-write the query and hope that the planner's general plan is a bit closer to optimal… but are these my only options?  

I notice that the non-prepared-statement (both below my sig) plan estimates 5500 rows output.  I think that's out by a factor of up to 100, suggesting that I might want to increase my statistics and re-analyse… but as I understand the prepared-statement problem, this probably won't help here.  Correct?

We've been worst hit by this query on an 8.3 site.  Another site is running 8.4.  Have there been improvements in this area recently?  Upgrading to 9.0 might be viable for us.

Any tips would be appreciated,
