AFAICT, Postgres 9.5 does make a reasonably correct guess when given up-to-date stats. I speculate that you need to ANALYZE this table. If there are a lot of distinct possible values in the arrays, increasing the statistics target for the column might be needed. 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
