You are doing an manual analyze each time you change default_statistics_target, right?
Can you do an "analyze verbose aula_confirmacao" and see if the output is as expected?
what happens if you do:
explain (analyze, buffers)
select count(*) from aula_confirmacao where
inicio::DATE BETWEEN DATE_TRUNC('YEAR', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP) AND CURRENT_TIMESTAMP;
From your explain plan
http://explain.depesz.com/s/GDJn, step 9, the row estimates for that simple query should be off by a factor of 23 (101508/4442), yet there is no apparent reason for that to give a bad estimate, other than bad statistics. There are no filters so cross-column correlations can't be throwing it off, so why is it so bad?
Also, it would be nice to see:
select * from pg_stats where tablename = 'idx_aula_confirmacao_2' \x\g\x
(which I assume is a function-based index)
