Greetings!

I have already increased the stats from 10 to 100. In addition, if I
specify individual tables, then the indexes are used. However, when I go
through the <inherits>, then indexes are not used. I will try and expand
the statistics, but suspect it is not the root cause of the problem.

Regards!
Ed
