Re: [HACKERS] One I've never seen before:

quick appendum to my own...

the 'category' field was created with an 'alter table' command, if that
helps any...

even from psql, it comes back:

postgresql=> select category from tools where category = 'projects';
ERROR:  RestrictionClauseSelectivity: bad value 163645.593750

If I do it without the where clause, or a where cluase on any other field,
all appears well, its only teh one I created with 'alter table' that is
"screwed"...

Neat...if I rename the table to something else, the problem goes away.  If
I rename it to old_tools, it still exists, but if I rename it to software,
the problem disappears...*raised eyebrows*
and the table looks like:

postgresql=> \d tools

Table    = tools
