Re: [SQL] 6.4.x vs. 6.5 oddity

Pierre -
Are you sure the databases are identical? Including indicies? The only
significant difference I can see is the choice of index by the 6.5 plan
for the scan on pcat:

> V6.5
>  Index Scan using pcat_dcat_id_idx on pcat c  (cost=264.24 size=4465 width=4)
>
> V6.4
>  Index Scan using pcat_prod_id_idx on pcat c  (cost=2.00 size=4457 width=4)

Strangely enough, the estimated total cost difference is about the same ratio.
