Re: Incorrect result of bitmap heap scan.

Following up to correct my previous email: the query plan did not really 
change - we see Bitmap Heap Scans even before the upgrade. Therefore, 
the query plan doesn't seem to have changed after the upgrade.

However after the upgrade it seems that those queries are doing more 
disk IO (increased index_blocks_read in that table).

Thanks in advance
