Definitely need to fix that. I tried to reproduce this behavior with simple generated data, and could not: the estimates seem to track the actual cost reasonably well. So it seems like you've got some weird data statistics that are causing a misestimate. Could we see the pg_stats row for that tsvector column? Or maybe even the actual data? regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
