I have attached the output.

btw anyone trying this query should use: "attdispersion"

The explain I gave, there are no records that actually have an artistid
of 0. However, I will show the explain with a valid artistid number.

This is without "-o -fs"
cdinfo=# explain select * from ztitles where artistid = 100000220 ;
NOTICE:  QUERY PLAN:

Seq Scan on ztitles  (cost=0.00..4740.75 rows=3163 width=296)

EXPLAIN

And this is with "-o -fs"

cdinfo=# explain select * from ztitles where artistid = 100000220 ;
NOTICE:  QUERY PLAN:

Index Scan using ztitles_artistid_ndx on ztitles  (cost=0.00..5915.01
rows=3163 width=296)

EXPLAIN


select count(*) from ztitles where artistid = 100000220 ;
 count
