Hi Tom,

I should have looked at the analyzed plan first. The culprit for the slow query were trigger function calls on foreign keys.

Ciao,

Specifically, I'm wondering why the innermost scan on corpus
(toplevel) does not use the index idx_corpus__toplevel

The cost estimate indicates that there are so few rows in corpus
that an indexscan would be a waste of time.

and why the
join between corpus (toplevel) and corpus (child) is not a merge join
using the index corpus_pre_key to access the child table.

Same answer.  Populate the table and the plan will change.

                        regards, tom lane
