Actually it's pretty clear there are some other bad estimations as well. You should send along the view definition too.

It's possible it's joining on some unexpected columns -- though that doesn't really look like it's the case here. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
