You might get the desired result, if you switch off the index scan:
set ENABLE_INDEXSCAN = OFF.
But there is no way to tell Postgres what to use first. Usually the
query planer is quite good, so there is no reason to fiddle around. And
why on earth would you like that. In the end you get the same result.
Hope, that helps
