No - the explains there were contrasting a date test BETWEEN versus =.

Ah, I think I understand. The test case was *missing* this clause.

This will try to track the 1000 most-common values of "toode", whereas
the default is to try to track the most common 10 values. Tracking more
values means the planner has more accurate information but makes ANALYSE
take longer to run, and also makes planning each query take slightly longer.
Try 100, 200, 500 and see if they work *for a range of queries* -
there's no point in having it much higher than it needs to be.
