The planner is getting the wrong estimate for the selectivity of the IN-clause, which is likely because it has no statistics about lower(file_suffix) or lower(filetype_suffix). If you don't want to constrain the data to be already lower'd, then setting up functional indexes on the two lower() expressions should prompt ANALYZE to track stats for them. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
