Why does the planner want to crawl the table that has 5M rows instead of the one with 176k rows? Both tables are freshly vacuum-full-analyzed.
Because you don't have an index on "base" for the files table.
callrec32=# \d fix.files Table "fix.files" Column | Type | Modifiers --------+------------------------+----------- dir | character varying(255) | base | character varying(255) | Indexes: "base_storename_idx" btree (base, ((((dir)::text || '/'::text) || (base)::text))) "ff_storename_idx" btree (((((dir)::text || '/'::text) || (base)::text)))
A couple of indexes, but none simple on "base", so it can't be used for the join.
