I re-ran the query in multiple forms, and included it below (I regexed it to become 'foo2bar' so it's more generic to others). I also uploaded it as a public spreadsheet to google, because I think that is a bit easier to look at: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1w9HM8w9YUpul5Bmy-uvzA4I6x5OFwWzR6K5atFG2ubw/edit?usp=sharing The most interesting thing to me was how the planner was so drastically affected by interplay of distinct and order in a subselect : 293 - SELECT ( SELECT DISTINCT ) ORDER LIMIT OFFSET 293 - SELECT DISTINCT ( SELECT DISTINCT ORDER ) LIMIT OFFSET 300 - SELECT DISTINCT ( SELECT ORDER ) LIMIT OFFSET 6400 - SELECT( SELECT DISTINCT ORDER ) LIMIT OFFSET 7631 - SELECT DISTINCT ( SELECT ) ORDER LIMIT OFFSET And you can also see how the planner completely changed the strategy when LIMIT/OFFSET was introduced to the first query -- 394 SELECT ORDER BY;
