It is better, it decides to switch to it and keep it. Sounds like machine learning in the query planner. Nothing like this exists in core, but there have been projects in the past to do this, for example, https://axleproject.eu/2015/07/17/augmenting-the-postgresql-planner-with-machine-learning/ Perhaps there are others that have worked on similar things, however, I don't recall any conversations on these postgresql.org mailing lists though. Maybe it's worth trying searching the archives? -- David Rowley http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services
