Hi all,

We have a slow query. After analyzing, the planner decision seems to be discutable : the query is faster when disabling seqscan. See below the two query plan, and an extract from pg_stats.

Any idea about what to change to help the planner ?

An information which can be useful : the number on distinct value on organization_id is very very low, may be the planner does not known that, and take the wrong decision.

Hello, Bertrand!
May be statistics on external_sync_messages is wrong? i.e planner give us rows=6385 but seq scan give us Rows Removed by Filter: 600140
Maybe you should recalc it by VACUUM ANALYZE it?

What is the result of
select relname,n_live_tup,n_dead_tup, last_vacuum, last_autovacuum, last_analyze, last_autoanalyze from pg_stat_user_tables where relname='external_sync_messages' ?
