When you do this from the application, are you passing it 3 parameters,
or 5? The plan is clearly taking advantage of the fact that the two
occurrences of $1 and $2 are known to be the same value; if your app is
using some interface that uses ? placeholders rather than numbered
parameters, then the planner will not be able to make this assumption.
Also, from the application, is the LIMIT 25 passed as a constant or is that
also a parameter?
