Could you trick it into not using the index (AND using the other strategy?)
by using a calculation:
SELECT ndict.url_id,ndict.intag
FROM ndict,url
WHERE ndict.word_id=1971739852
AND url.rec_id=ndict.url_id
AND ( (url.url || ' ') LIKE 'http://www.postgresql.org/% ');
it's a bit nasty.
If you had 7.1, the following might work:
SELECT url_id,intag From
(Select ndict.url_id,ndict.intag,url
FROM ndict,url
WHERE ndict.word_id=1971739852
AND url.rec_id=ndict.url_id) as zzz
Where
zzz.url LIKE 'http://www.postgresql.org/%'
But I don't know how subselect-in-from handles this sort of query - it
might be 'clever' enough to fold it somehow.
