seq scan over 3.3 million rows instead of single key index access

There are  indexes on   rid(dokumnr) and dok(dokumnr) and dokumnr is int.
Instead of using single key index, 8.1.4 scans over whole rid table.
Sometimes idtelluued can contain more than single row so replacing join with
equality is not possible.

How to fix ?

CREATE TEMP TABLE idtellUued(dokumnr INT) ON COMMIT DROP;
 INSERT INTO idtellUued VALUES(1249228);

Firstly the current 8.1 release is 8.1.15. Any of the bugs fixed in those 11
releases might be related to this.

Secondly:

The planner thinks there are 2,140 rows in that temporary table so I don't
believe this is from the example posted. I would suggest running ANALYZE
idtellUued at some point before the problematic query.

If this can still be reproduced in 8.1.15 it would be worth looking into.
My first guess is that there are multiple relevant indexes on the big
table and the old bugs in choose_bitmap_and() are making it mess up.

No, that's a pretty likely default assumption for a never-vacuumed,
never-analyzed table.   Your advice is correct though.

Gregory,

Thank you.
After adding analyze all is OK.
Is analyze command required in  8.3 also ?
Or is it better better to specify some hint at create temp table time since
I know the number of rows before running query ?

How many rows contains rid? The estimation are okay, rows=3295833 and
actual rows=3280576 are nearly identical. An index-scan makes only sense
if rid contains considerable more than 3000000 rows.

Try to analyse the idtellUued-table after the insert. The planner has no
knowledge that this table contains only one or e few rows, the planner
assume 1000 (iirc) in this table.

I'm sorry, I meant using index to get the row.
