Jean-Pierre,
First off, you're on Windows?
> " -> Seq Scan on price p (cost=0.00..11317.75 rows=581475 width=4)
> (actual time=0.004..1143.720 rows=581475 loops=1)"
Well, this is your pain point. Can we see the index scan plan on 8.1?
Given that it's *expecting* only one row, I can't understand why it's
using a seq scan ...
> "Nested Loop Left Join (cost=0.00..11.02 rows=1 width=0) (actual
> time=0.000..0.000 rows=1 loops=1)"
> " -> Nested Loop Left Join (cost=0.00..5.48 rows=1 width=4) (actual
> time=0.000..0.000 rows=1 loops=1)"
> "Total runtime: 0.000 ms"
Feh, this looks like the "windows does not report times" bug, which makes
it hard to compare ...
