Hi,
I'm having a weird problem on a query :
I've simplified it to get the significant part (see end of message).
The point is I've got a simple
SELECT field FROM table WHERE 'condition1'
Estimated returned rows : 5453
Then
SELECT field FROM table WHERE 'condition2'
Estimated returned rows : 705
Then
SELECT field FROM table WHERE 'condition1' OR 'condition2'
Estimated returned rows : 143998
Condition2 is a bit complicated (it's a subquery).
Nevertheless, shouldn't the third estimate be smaller or equal to the sum of the two others ?
Postgresql is 8.2.4 on Linux, stats are up to date,
show default_statistics_target;
default_statistics_target
---------------------------
1000
Any ideas ?
