I gave this a try on our test machine yesterday and it worked. The planner
was estimating that the group by on the union would return about 300 rows
which is very similar to what 8.1.2 thought. Actually it returned about
3000 rows, but still it is a good enough estimate to pick a plan which takes
100ms instead of a plan which takes 100 seconds.
Thanks,
