Ok, but why is the plan different in 8.2? As you can see the same query
is really fast in 8.2, but slow in 8.3.

There is a separate index on the isin column of the attachment_isins
table (attachment_isins_isin_idx). The other table (rec_isins) has the

implicit index. Can this index be used for the single column isin? And
again: Why doesn't this matter in 8.2??
