any string estimation are not exact.

you can use following dirty trick:

>> I have an index scan on a custom function that is returning a wildly incorrect row estimate that is throwing off the rest of the query planning.  The result of the function is roughly unique - there are a handful with multiple entries - but the planner is estimating 227,745 rows.  I re-ran ANALYZE on the table and the results did not change.  Any suggestions on how to get more accurate planner result?
