Hello,

Thanks the nice people on irc my problem is fixed.
I changed the following settings in the postgres.conf file:
default_statistics_target = 5000 -> and I analyzed the tables after the change of course -> now I only got 2 plans anymore, in stead of 3

default_statistics_target = 5000 as a default is *way* too high. Such high values should only be set on a per-column basis ...

cpu_tuple_cost = 0.1 -> by setting this value the seq scans were stopped, and the better index_only scan / bitmap index scan were used for this query.

Thank you Robe and Mabe_ for helping me with this issue!

    Hello,

    yes, the tables are vacuumed every day with the following command:
    vacuum analyze schema.table.
    The last statistics were collected yesterday evening. I collected
    statistics about the statistics, and I found the following:
    table_name; starttime; runtime
    "st_itemseat";"2013-02-17 23:48:42";"00:01:02"
    "st_itemseat_45";"2013-02-17 23:35:15";"00:00:08"
    "st_itemzone";"2013-02-17 23:35:33";"00:00:01"

    st_itemseat_45 is a child-partition of st_itemseat.

    They seem to be pretty much up to date I guess?
    I also don't get any difference in the query plans when they are
    run in the morning, or in the evening.

    I have also run the query with set seq_scan to off, and then I get
    the following output:
    Total query runtime: 12025 ms.
    20599 rows retrieved.
    and the following plan: http://explain.depesz.com/s/yaJK

    These are 3 different plans. And the last one is blazingly fast.
    That's the one I would always want to use :-)

    it's also weird that this is default plan for the biggest
    partition. But the smaller the partition gets, the smaller the
    partition gets.
    So I don't think it has anything to do with the memory settings.
    Since it already chooses this plan for the bigger partitions...

    wkr,
    Bert

        Looks a bit like wrong statistics. Are the statistiks for your
        tables
        correct?

        Cheers,
