Hi,
I have a peculiar situation here. I'm optimizing some queries and I
noticed that EXPLAIN doesn't always show the tables involved in the
query. Below is a little example, but I have other examples with longer
queries. Note that the tables tabela_documento_fiscal and pessoa aren't
considered on it's output. Am I missing someting or it might be a bug?

PostgreSQL 9.2.6 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (Debian
