However ... it sort of looks like the planner didn't even consider the second plan shape in the "wrong" case. If it had, then even if it costed it 3X more than it did in the "right" case, the second plan would still have won out by orders of magnitude. So there's something else going on. Can you show the actual query and table and view definitions? regards, tom lane
