The following bug has been logged on the website: Bug reference: 7853 Logged by: James Skaggs Email address: jim...@seagate.com PostgreSQL version: 8.4.14 Operating system: RHEL6 Description:
After "analyze verbose", the table shows 158 million rows. A select count(1) yields 13.8 million rows. INFO: analyzing "public.stream_file" INFO: "stream_file": scanned 30000 of 2123642 pages, containing 184517 live rows and 2115512 dead rows; 30000 rows in sample, 158702435 estimated total rows Here are the table statistics.

Bad statistics led to a bad plan. We will cluster the table today to see if that fixes it, but I think statistics should be correct, regardless of the state of a table. BTW, Coverity product requries 8.x, and we'll upgrade to 8.4.15 today. Didn't see anything about better statistics in the 8.4.15 changelog. -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
