Hi,
I have had a Perl Website working for 7 years and have had no problems
until a few weeks ago I replaced my database server with a newer one.
Database server (old): PostgreSQL 8.4 32bit
Database server (new): PostgreSQL 12.11 64bit
I run following sql in PostgreSQL 8.4 and PostgreSQL 12.11, it returns different execution plan.
--PostgreSQL 8.4

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX analyze_word_reports_pkey ON analyze_word_reports USING btree (seq)

Although PostgreSQL 8.4 has more than 10 million rows of data less than PostgreSQL 12.11,
PostgreSQL 12.11 is too slow and analyze_word_reports_index_cseid does not seem to work.
I'm guessing that the limit keyword of PostgreSQL 12.11 causes the index not to work.
But I don't understand why PostgreSQL 8.4 is normal.
What is the reason for this and is there any easy way to maintain compatibility?
