Right, with more rows, and choosing fewer, pgsql will go for an index scan. if choosing a good %, the seq scan. > So, I am fine when I trust the Postgresql planner :) Because speed wise > I see no difference that 8.3 would be slower than 8.2 Well, the planner's not perfect. Some off corner cases can catch it out, or if your database isn't analyzed after a lot of changes it may make an uninformed decision. But most the time it makes the right, or close enough, decision. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
