I've notice on certain queries, I was waiting a long time for a return so I
set out to troubleshoot something here's what I ran into...
When I do a explain on a select looking for 'peripherals & access' it uses
sequential scan but any other keyword uses index scan.
I've ran the vacuum analyze on PI_Keywords but comes up with the same
results. Can anyone offer some insight or confirm this as a bug?
