I found the reason why I'd not been able to reproduce the problem: the index you're hoping it will use is declared "note_sets_parent_id_idx" btree (parent_id) WHERE parent_id IS NOT NULL Apparently 9.2 is less bright than 9.1 about when it can use a partial index. I'm not sure where I broke that, but will look. 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
