Re: how do functions affect query plan?

Interestingly,adding type cast made postgresql wiser.
Anyone knows the reason?

1.no type cast
SELECT md.*
  FROM measure_data md
  where telegram_id in (trunc(66484.2),trunc(132362.1 ))


"Seq Scan on measure_data md  (cost=0.00..459455.40 rows=205546 width=28) (actual time=77.144..6458.870 rows=624 loops=1)"
"  Filter: ((telegram_id)::numeric = ANY ('{66484,132362}'::numeric[]))"
"  Rows Removed by Filter: 20553936"
"Total runtime: 6458.921 ms"


2.type cast

SELECT md.*
  FROM measure_data md
  where telegram_id in (trunc(66484.2)::int,trunc(132362.1 )::int)

"Bitmap Heap Scan on measure_data md  (cost=16.06..2618.86 rows=684 width=28) (actual time=0.076..0.154 rows=624 loops=1)"
"  Recheck Cond: (telegram_id = ANY ('{66484,132362}'::integer[]))"
"  ->  Bitmap Index Scan on index_measure_data_telegram_id  (cost=0.00..15.88 rows=684 width=0) (actual time=0.065..0.065 rows=624 loops=1)"
"        Index Cond: (telegram_id = ANY ('{66484,132362}'::integer[]))"
"Total runtime: 0.187 ms"
