Re: Bad plan after vacuum analyze

Tom,

> So, the usual questions: have these two tables been ANALYZEd lately?

Yes, of course.
As I wrote in my previous mail, here is how I reproduce the problem:
- we load the dump in a new database (to be sure, there is no problem on
an index or something like that)
- query: it's fast (< 1ms)
- *VACUUM FULL ANALYZE;*
- query: it's really slow (130ms) and it's another plan
- set enable_seqscan=off;
- query: it's fast (< 1ms) : it uses the best plan

I reproduced it on two different servers exactly like that (7.4.5 and
7.4.7).

I first met the problem on a production database with a VACUUM ANALYZE
run every night (and we don't have too many inserts a day on this database).

See attached file.

If you're interested in a dump of these tables, just tell me. There
aren't any confidential information in them.
