I have a VIEW that does not appear to take advantage of the WHERE when given the opportunity:
db=# explain select * from best_for_sale_layouts;

If I run the View's select with the WHERE in psql I get what I expect (first_not_null is an aggregate function):
db=# explain analyze SELECT
first_not_null(a.id) as id,
first_not_null(a.address_id) as address_id,
....
first_not_null(a.created_at) as created_at,
first_not_null(a.updated_at) as updated_at
FROM (SELECT b.*, for_sale_layout_rank
FROM ((SELECT *
FROM for_sale_layouts
UNION ALL SELECT *
FROM assessor_records) AS b INNER JOIN sources ON b.source_id = sources.id)
ORDER BY for_sale_layout_rank) AS a
where address_id = 2871034;

Is there anything I can do to get the View to update its plan?
Improvements are welcome, although for other reasons (Rails' ActiveRecord) the View is a must.
Thanks in advance.
