To be honest I'm not sure where it's mentioned. It's a big tool that
lets you make some gross changes to the optimizer's planning (sets the
cost of sequence scan very very high).
Does doing it before the explain change the output?
Also, does making an index on phonecalls(istatus, sfor) [rather than
sfor,istatus] change the choice?
