Hi,
Can anybody explain the following results when using EXPLAIN,
one time with enable_seqscan=on and one time with enable_seqscan=off.
What I don't understand is that the nodes created are the same
(index scan, seq scan), but the costs differ.
set enable_seqscan=on;
explain (SELECT alias96.ID FROM JOB AS alias96 WHERE NOT EXISTS
((SELECT alias97.DEPENDENT_ID FROM JOB_MISSING_DEPENDENCIES AS alias97
WHERE alias97.DEPENDENT_ID = alias96.ID)) AND NOT EXISTS ((SELECT
alias98.JOB_ID FROM ACTIVE_JOBS AS alias98 WHERE alias98.JOB_ID =
alias96.ID)) AND ((alias96.STATUS IN (-4, -1))) FOR UPDATE OF alias96
OFFSET 10 LIMIT 10);
