Well, not basing such a sweeping statement on a single query example would be a good start ;-). This particular plan might have got a little worse but I'm sure some further investigation would show other cases that got better. If you want to nudge it back towards the indexscan plan, reducing random_page_cost a bit would probably do the trick. But that's definitely not a parameter you want to adjust on the basis of only one test case. regards, tom lane
