Re: Slow Query- Bad Row Estimate

I am not sure what you mean by reformulate the data representation.  Do
you mean do I have to join on all three columns?

The most likely explanation for the bad rowcount estimates is that there
is correlation between the regionid/countyid/cityid columns, only the
planner doesn't know it.  Can you reformulate that data representation
at all, or at least avoid depending on it as a join key?
