Чудо дивное планировщик явил !!!

hi all

Вот два эксплэйна, не спешите копаться в их WHERE хотя это и любопытно,
но не так сильно...
обратите внимание что запросы отличаются ТОЛЬКО СЕЛЕКТ-ЛИСТОМ
в первом запросе, который выполняется в 30 раз быстрее, выбираются все
поля, а во втором, выбирается только одно поле (которое входит также и в
первый запрос)
и откуда же происходит такая радикальная разница в планах ????

stid, t1.id, t1.title FROM topic as t1, topic as st WHERE t1.up=304532
and st.trail <@ t1.trail) as t where a.topic=t.stid;
