No, I meant _complex_ plans:

pcno=# explain select * from vwmbradr where centre_id = 56;
NOTICE: QUERY PLAN:

Subquery Scan vwmbradr (cost=636.68..636.68 rows=1 width=418)
-> Sort (cost=636.68..636.68 rows=1 width=418)
-> Nested Loop (cost=0.00..636.67 rows=1 width=418)
-> Nested Loop (cost=0.00..630.67 rows=1 width=340)
-> Nested Loop (cost=0.00..624.68 rows=1
width=254)
-> Index Scan using primary_centre_id_index
on constituents (cost=0.00..622.35 rows=1 width=212)
-> Seq Scan on centres (cost=0.00..1.59
rows=59 width=42)
-> Index Scan using constituents_pkey on
constituents (cost=0.00..5.98 rows=1 width=86)
-> Index Scan using constituents_pkey on constituents
(cost=0.00..5.98 rows=1 width=78)
